   I agree with you for the most part except that I learned early in life
NEVER to say NEVER!  But I know what you mean.  For the time being those
latter items are explainable only in the realm of myth (which is not
negligible once we realize that its the only guide we have and may not be a
false one in its approach to the ONE reality in which we live.
Sincerely,
