I'm old enough to remember the "Eternity" script (in perfect copperplate). I remember it as a kid. I realized it was profound....there seemed to be something "otherworldly" about it. They say that Arthur Stace wrote the word "Eternity" over 500,000 times, on the streets of Sydney...
IF there is/was a God, he would have made us humans a fair bit smarter; and much less stupidly aggressive. Look at reality: We can't even control our own numbers (overpopulation)........
