  1. A quotation from Charles Darwin

    It has often and confidently been asserted, that man’s origin can never be known: but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.

    Charles Darwin (1809-1882) English naturalist
    The Descent of Man, Introduction (1871)

  15. Dear Friends of One, :ablobcatwave:

    It must be time for 11’s which is duodecimal X 2 for elevenses.

    As we know Atheists (the well known self programmed #absences) like to dismiss extreme lateral thinking, all #deities including the #monotheist or absent gods …
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_

    #Fortunately some of us are made of more #flexible thought processes or more accurately their unthinkable absence.

    So how does the #Non-God, or #Unknowable manifest?

    Well if it can be said, it can be #contradicted. Seen, dismissed as fantasy. #Known only to be neti-neti (not this, not that)

    Have a great day. Be #Kind. Do do, before DoDo time … :ablobcouple:
