I wasn't going to come back here however........
Beth, I fully understand how one endures "cognitive dissonace" as you so elaborately put it. I am happy beyond words that for once in my life I took the "proverbial leap of faith" and went for something that I could neither explain nor even remotely wrap my mind around.
Columbus did not fall off the edge of the earth as predicted by his "learned" contemporaries and it took centuries to vindicate poor old Galileo. Is it not possible that we are at present still too ignorant to get the big picture? After all we are only using a fraction of our brain. There still is a lot of untapped potential, well maybe not for me (must have fried a miriad of neurons with AL) but I am thinking of future generations. Just more of my ramblings............
