I agree. I also think the PLoS1 editors were incompetent.<br /><br />There is a Chinese notion embedded in Taoist cosmology that all material things are the result of what I would translate as “creative force.”<br /><br />An example that used the word “Mother” as the creative force,<br /><br />“All things have an origin.<br />The origin could be called the Mother.<br />When you know the Mother,<br />You can know the child.”<br /><br />In other contexts the same word is translated as "the Way," or left untranslated as "tao."<br /><br />“They come out from Tao manifesting Their Individualities, then come back to the state without individual manifestations in It.”<br /><br />or,<br /><br />The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of the ten thousand things. Ever desireless, one can see the mystery. Ever desiring, one sees the manifestations. These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gate to all mystery.<br /><br />Life, or matter in any form is called the "manifest," or "multitude." Nature;Tao;"the Mother";Creator are equivalent. <br />Gary S.

Again I ask you what does it feel like to have invested so much time, effort, an money into Hovind just for him to toss you two over his shoulder like an empty beer can. You can come to Robert's page to refute my claim, but I'm betting you're to much of a coward yourself.Styphonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325997728761180040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421006301341157258.post-30421954998412613422016-03-13T21:41:42.819-04:002016-03-13T21:41:42.819-04:00Don't get aggravated that God is the creator.....Don't get aggravated that God is the creator... get angry that stalker and harrasser Robert Baty who intimidates children and teenagers on the internet is friends with the owner of this blog Peter Reilly of Forbes.com<br /><br />Peter, think twice about who are friends with... me think Robert Baty is going to get metal wrapped around his wrists soon?
