I do not deny evolution.  But since it's only the mode of existence, not its 
source, why should I equate "one" or unity with evolution?  Oneness applies 
only to the Absolute Source, where it defines metaphysical reality rather 
than a numerical integer.  I had always assumed that my correspondents 
existed too.  But, as you deny your individuality, I guess I've been talking 
to the social or intellectual level instead of a human individual named Joe. 
(No wonder I've had so much difficulty communicating with you!)

Thanks for the sarcastic sympathy anyway, Joe, whatever you are.
