I will be re-posting, dissecting, discussing that correspondence here; on the ‘Akinetochronism’ forum/mailing list. Here (see below) is another early discussion I engaged in with a correspondent.

Anyway I believe that to say time does not exist is like saying God does not exist, bearing in mind that I believe that time is God, and that time is the creator of all things. Evidently given sufficient time almost anything can happen, even the creation of three dimensional man! In my book time is the true creative force in and of the universe.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><font size="2" face="Arial" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><span class=""> </span></font></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 17px; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><font size="2" face="Arial" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><span class="">Hedley M.</span></font></div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><div class="Section1" style="page: Section1;"><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><font size="2" face="Arial" class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt;"><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;" class=""><div class="">On Oct 28, 2004, at 19:57, Robert L.
