If you consider good and evil as a spectrum such that it is impossible for good to exist without evil, maybe this universe is an optimal balance of the two?

In terms of spirit and consciousness.. I can think of biological mechanisms that explain them away. A sense of soul or spirit may just be a conditioned response based on my Catholic upbringing; and consciousness, it's a competative advantage and I can imagine circumstances that may favour it's evolution.

However, I certainly have trouble rationalising away the 'something from nothing' problem. Kraussians would say that the question doesn't make sense.. something to the effect that something can be derived mathematically from nothing - but then, where did mathematics come from? Or perhaps the argument was that 'nothing' is not a valid state of the universe.. In any case it is unedifying.

I understand where your line of questioning is leading.. it's basically what I would like to believe; but believing what you want to believe can be a dangerous thing right? You have inspired me to meditate on it some more, which I appreciate!

I had much the same journey; I have a lot of trouble saying I believe in God, but symbolically, in my mind, when I think in those terms - well, it seems to have an effect on my mitochondria. I feel a sense of energy..

..and maybe that is enough to make it true (or I'm just mad lol).

It's common for business laptops to have TeamViewer, no problem there; but the fact that this laptop was in a tabulation room during an election is extremely troubling.

My thoughts too based on the picture; but according to Mendez it's a story told within the CIA.
