On the other hand, perhaps the "theological documents" were not written by "primitive folks."

I thought you understood waves and their interactions. I also thought that you were aware of the so called "destructive interference" of waves, if there is a wave of a certain frequency and amplitude and another wave of the same frequency and amplitude is superimposed on that wave but in a 180 degrees out of phase with the first one, then the result is either calm, quiet, or darkness, depending on the frequency and its perception.

We may never be able to detect total darkness because there is always so much "light" or "energy" around, and that is why the several thousand year old "white paper" mentions "darkness" and "night" only once in Genesis, after the creation of the universe there was only evening and morning but no night.

        There should be a clue in the word "relativity" that it does not attempt to explain nothing. (n/t) - alcaray - 8/10/2006 2:53:24 PM
