Space as Negation of Objects, Nothing
Reply to Daniel Davis
Hi Daniel--  Feel free to get back to the original spirit 'o the thread-- Space...  I was speaking more about that topic when you injected Darwin and I never did figure out "what Darwin has to do has to do with it."  I don't think you really answered that question, but then we started debating aspects of his theory for some reason ?  I had been referencing Einstein, which I thought was relevant to the topic at hand, but don't remember mentioning Darwin, although, I could be mistaken.  (It actually happens frequently, no matter what a tragically overconfident 'arse' I seem to be.) 
To clarify--- I don't expect you to accept that there is a higher being that originated life, even though I KNOW one exists through my own personal history, my epistemology, extensive data that this organism has accumulated through her sensory apparatuses.  I can't prove that to you beyond perhaps face to face conversations that would take a long time, where I could relay lengthy depictions of that experience, including miracles I've encountered, and interactions with that being over a long period of time...   I would ask that you don't bring a psychiatrist to our meeting ;-).  All that I said to you in the post is, you can't prove that this organism (me) is wrong about my experience of God.  This relates to my previous statements about what I feel is the misguided belief that some scientists, philosophers, etc. have that everything is capable of being explicated and even proven, including the important unseen elements of life, which I find to be the most important glue that exists (love...).  Any good scientist or even mathematician will tell you, nothing can ever really be proven for certain even utilizing quite rigorous methods.  

I'm a staunch critic of reductionism having worked as an emotional healer in the trenches for many years, with extensive training in neurophysiology, neuropsychology...  As a clinical and school psychologist, I can tell you that psychometrics (psych testing) and medical testing (EEG, MRI) etc. can provide valuable information that can guide interventions, but there is no substitute for sitting (attentively and lovingly) with a child who struggles with assignments, getting to know the obstacles and how he responds cognitively, emotionally and behaviorally so one can sleuth out the problem and provide careful corrective guidance to the child and his educators.  Out of room... Best, Maria
