No one on the board has ever asked those questions, Butcho. I'll try my best to answer them.
"How can I be on the list if I am not a Taoist?"
Those on the list are a warning--to all the good Daoists on the web--of what could be. You know..."There but for the grace of God go I." Beyond that, I cannot say.
You cannot start at the top. You must start at the bottom and claw your way to the top.
Lian Dao's experience is instructive in this regard.
"So, what caused the Big Bang?"
Unknowable through our chemistries, Butcho.
Personally, I'm comfortable with that.
