A good question, and for some , it doesn’t have to be “who”. I thought about changing “who” to “what”. On the surface, that seemed less biased. But as I thought it through, I realized that in my mind, whatever the answer given, to me it would always go back to “who” invariably. I’d still go back to who made the molecules, who created the spark of life, etc. The man I was talking to would, I’m sure, invariably would go back to why there had to be a who.

We weren’t arguing about it. I think we were just trying to understand each other; I know I was. But I was at a standstill. We just have fundamentally different views. We weren’t trying to change each other’s minds, and I truly respect his opinion. But respecting and understanding are two different things. It made more sense to me to agree to disagree. I appreciated his perspective, and I concluded there really wasn’t a middle ground to be found, and that’s ok.

Make sense?
