I'm re-asking a q. I tried to ask weeks ago, only people answered before I could finish putting in all the details, and obviously had no idea of wha i was really asking. Okay, bear w' me.
I want to draw an analogy. The story is told of an elderly lady who attended a lecture on cosmology. Afterward, she told the lecturere that she didn't believe the Earth was a sphere, or that it floated in space.
"What do you believe?" he asked.
"The Earth is circular but flat,"she replied. "And it's not floating in space."
"What holds it up, then...?" he wanted to know.
It's resting on the back of a gigantic elephant!"
"What holds the elephant up?"
"It's standing on the back of an enormous turtle!"
"But what holds the turtle up?"
"It's standing on the back of an even more enormous turtle!"
"And where is that turtle standing...?"
"It's no use," she said with a smile. "It's turtles, all the way down!"
