   Interesting, isn't it, how desperate both you and Tang are to find ways   
   of convincing yourselves that what I say can't possibly be true.   
      
   I wonder why?   
   Is it too simple?   
   Or too logical? That we should all be born with a source of wisdom,   
   clarity, and happiness inside of us?   
      
   Perhaps that would imply too much care and kindness in whatever created   
   us. A Big Bang with a compassionate heart at its core.
