In theory then, anyone may have an epiphany. It ain’t against the law ‘n you can have more’n one in a lifetime. Heck, I have it on good authority that actors have them with amazing regularity. So, I had an epiphany....so what.....I think I’ve had more’n one but when y’get to be my age, you get forgetful....it’s called ‘oldtimers disease’....
anyways when I saw the view from the Hubble of the never-ending universe, I had a sort of epiphany....I mean, it wasn’t anything that I hadn’t already known in some recess of the incalculable universe that is the human mind, but nevertheless it dawned on me that simply because humans think that everything must have a beginning and an ending that it ain’t necessarily so....to quote George (or maybe Ira) Gershwin, I disremember which was the lyricist....
anyways I digress.....let’s take water, just for an example....the world has the same amount of water that it has always had, no more, no less.....well, according to our questionable science anyway....and it constantly recycles...we can have periods of extended drought.....no matter, the world still has the same amount of water.....we can have unusually heavy storms with lots of flooding, maybe even biblical proportions, I dunno....but according to our scientists, the world still has the same amount of water...so however Earth came to be, cut out of whole cloth maybe....the proportions have remained the same...shifted around a bit, we have evidence of that.. well, our somewhat shaky science has what we think is evidence....can we really get our minds around the concept of the chicken and the egg arriving at the same time....ah well, the really interesting thing about theories is that they can’t be proven. Or disproven. You can argue either side...or both. Maybe that’s why we invented Lawyers.....
