| Re: Matter is everything in a void:
Dear David:
If sentient beings such as ourselves are continguous with the universe, then the universe and everything in is is bound to be alive and conscious - all of it, from the mountains, to the valleys, to the oceans, white with foam, the lower 48 and the back forty, lock, stock and bananas. Etceteras. Physical atonement. No ifs, buts, maybes or impositions. Opinion and philosophy is irrelevant here. Operative phrase: if sentinent beings such as ourselves are contiguous with the universe - then the universe is contiguous with us... (for example)
Regards
-RP
