And Clod, I understand your point totally. In the end we pretty much just try to live out our lives and make a decent go of it. It's like astronomers studying the physical nature of the universe; what they find out there, working out whether the universe is 13 billion years old or only 12, won't make as much difference in our own lives as whether we decide to have a donut for dinner. On the other hand, our natural curiousity as humans won't let some of us let these questions go. And I swear there is a point to it; we need to do the heavy lifting sometimes to get to the next level.
