Ya, sure, I know that ploy. I see it on talk shows and sports interviews.
Interviewer asks inane and elementary question.
Interviewee starts response with, "I'm glad you asked that. That's a great question..."
I'm trying to divert you from your actual explanations into something more vague and squishy.
You know, something where I don't look as inept.
I think it's something Freudian....physics envy.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

For his sake, I hope so. His idyllic description of his activities would fit that very well.

It is good to know that you are doing what you ought to be doing.

For the most part, we are trying hard to understand the complexity of the universe. For an easy way out, try religion. Half the trouble, twice the conforting factor.
