Thanks, tama! I'd vaguely heard about Sarfatti, but I hadn't know enough to dig him out. He sounds like he'd be a phenomenal guy to drop acid with (and I mean that as a sincere compliment). I've just started to dig into his theories in an article published this year in the Journal of Cosmology.
And just now I found a discussion by Matti Pitkänen about Seth (my favourite channeled cosmologist of all time). I feel like I'm peering in through a window at a theoretical physics playgroup. So this is what those guys do for fun. May no one be injured in the collapse of your wave function.
In other words, "With this many pointing fingers there has to be a moon up there somewhere..."

Most objective god-concepts are cultural constructs, which means they vary as much as cultures do.

That analogy assumes that this "god" is an actual thing outside the window, like an SUV.

Thanks for reminding me of that! Though it takes on a different meaning on DU...

This is a pretty good summary IMO. And today, so much is based on fear - that's
