As a child I found these fascinating. They look like some kind of candy. It’s a wonder I never ate one. http://js-kit.com/for/lightondarkwater.com/comments.js

In the discussion on the previous post on this topic (see here), Francesca made the point that “our non-materialist definition of ‘nothingness’ is a consequence of natural theology, of knowing that God exists.” I’m not 100% sure I understand this correctly, but if I do, then I disagree with it.
