Does that give you a logical, predictive model of universal phenomenon we could check against actual universal phenomenon?
No what I prefer about my formulation is that it makes it clear that nothing of any use has been offered, rather than mislead myself or others the way yours does. I've been on xtian sites where people would brag about being on a bike, closing their eyes and letting go of the handles .. you know .. turning it all over to God. Maybe this is an example of the predictive powers you're offering?
