I have not said that fantasy and theory have not place in our considerations, only that it becomes misleading when they are not admitted as fantasy and are presented as facts.
And. Sheepy, you are right in that the questions you raise are those which an inquiring mind asks. My position is that there are no answers to most of them, and to pretend that there are answers is like believing that you will have bad luck if you walk under a ladder. In short, we must learn to live with the idea that (1) we don't know, and (2) if we act as if we knew, we are risking being misled--about anything, theology, ethics, etc.
