Creationist? Me? Surely you jest, Shirley... I am not superstitious...
Well, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, they say... And in a
lifetime of accumulating a little knowledge I have noticed a few things
along the way...

FIrst mathematics is simply a language, just another way of describing
things... And when I was a majors candidate in science I noticed when
taking math that equations can describe things that cannot exist in the
physical world... I remember one physics course where the instructor,
droll fellow by the way, 'proved' that the universe is
multidimensional (Fime, Superstring, etc.)... His equations balanced on
both sides and therefore it had to be true, so he said...
At the same time I was also a majors candidate in the Arts and I had
noticed this priceless contribution to another world of language:
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.. . . ',
etc...

Now I gotta tell ya, as a farm boy from the thumb of Michigan I have
pitched my share of manure and know it when I smell it...

Lastly, we have to be careful of falling into the trap similar to a
former Director of the Patent Office who declared everything important
had already been invented... It is easy to simply fall in line with
the big names and big reputations declaring that the BBT explains
everything and that settles that... There is science and technology
yet to come that will find distance, forces and energy in the universe
that is likely to turn the BBT onto its ear... So, for the moment I
remain a thoughtful agnostic RE the BBT...
