    I respect your opinion. May your own imagination bring you
    as much ever new, never ending bliss and love as mine has
    my friend. Much love and thank you for sharing.
    Peace. :)

    Holy shit, my thread is still going? I haven't been on in close to a year. Very weird.

    I hate how imagination is synonymous to untruth. I don't see why.

    I believe in an entity that no one can experience with the normal human senses; yet this entity generates all the matter and energy in the universe, and even created space and time. Does that make me a theist, or a particle physicist?

    I think there is a sixth sense and that you can experience it.

    I was thinking more of Superstring. Most self-respecting particle physicists believe in it, and it has all the properties I mentioned. It defies empirical verification or refutation, especially since a superconducting supercollider is politically/economically out of the question. My point: don't be too hard on us religious mystical types.

    Well, by using the term entity and then ascribing those attributes, I think sounds very theistic.

    Is a superstring not an entity--at least conceptually?

    I'm not sure what you mean by entity. In the most common meaning, something that exists as a particular and discrete unit. Superstrings wouldn't fit that description.

    Just something that exists.
