Re: Creation



Dan, Tom, et al.

Tom, this is just fine and it surely makes the point to a lay person well
enough, But I think I misunderstand something -- even if the balloon were
to stop growing, the dots still flee from each other. NO??? Help me out
here. I am waiting for Dave Bowman to chime in here. Where are you???

Jim

What's wrong with drawing spots on a balloon and explaining that space is
the surface of the ballone, i.e., a two-dimensional manifold? Does this
mean I have a misconception because I was satisfied by that explanation.
For such explanations, I always reduce the number of dimensions to the
fewest that make sense. Doesn't everyone? -TLW
