Whether something is sufficient or not is rather subjective. Personally, I now find it more than sufficient, kind of obvious actually, like one of those optical illusions that looks random until someone tells you what it is, like a dalmatian in the woods, and then from there you cannot stop seeing the image.

But like I said, that's me, personally, today. Twenty years ago, when I was an atheist, I would have laughed at the notion. So I understand where you are coming from. You have intelligence and an inquisitive mind, bennyboy, and you have always treated me with respect. I do not mean that to sound patronizing. There is no final destination to this intellectual journey.
