Thanks Little Feather. It's good to have feedback. I am convinced of the correctness of the views set out in the post. But over the years I have found it hard to get people even to listen let alone agree or disagree. I find that strange because to me the TOE is absolutely logical, simple, almost inevitable in a way. It has huge explanatory power. It provides huge opportunities to resolve superficial differences (eg yes your god is "X" and his god is "Y" and you are both right and both those gods are part of ETI). But to me one of the main opportunities provided by the TOE is that it resolves the war between science and faith. The scientist says "there are powers in the universe, forces at work" The believer says "my god is omnipotent and omnipresent". ETI says "you are both right, you are just using different labels to describe different aspects of me".

Anyway, good to hear from you. I will go now and hunt down your posts which I anticipate I will read with great enjoyment and satisfaction.

Cheers
