Why Dale, thank you so much for your clear exposition of myth; I had had no idea! I was so pleased to learn, and in this first explanation, what you have said is of so much value --more, indeed, than anything else of what you have to say! I shall treasure it always.
Wasn't it amazing, that Transit of Venus? Did you get a good view? How on earth could they be so certain it would happen?
I think your pantalon may be in need of some denouement. You give the impression of believing that apes and men are cousins--not first cousins, but cousins of some degree, just as I do. You think--it is just your narrative of course -- that we had a common ancestor. Now we are different.
The idea that because, in 2012, a Theory of Everything has not be hypothesized and proven, this leads you to suppose that scientific method is no better than old wives' tales at explaining the stuff we come across in our world seems almost embarrassing. Did the makers of myth put your lap-top to-gether? Was it made by people just taking a shot in the dark? '' Holy fuck! I just made an internet, and this pc, it's just old bits lying around which got bunged to-gether when Billy-Jo was sweeping up! I heard a noise, and then --Heavens to Betsy!-- it started all a-sparkin', and a-talkin', and there twas!''
You do not think things are more predictable. But if you have a torch, and the batteries are new, you expect it to provide light when you turn it on. A torch in mint condition always will. When you get in your car, and turn the ignition, provided the car has been well-maintained, it will start. If you withdraw a person's head from the sand, they will be able to see again, provided they are still alive. Myth, I am afraid, is the last refuge of the Arts man.
