The Universe was not created, it has been there for a long-long time. There is no such entity who/what can create a Universe. I challenge him in the note that "I am dust and ashes". I will be dust and ashes on the day when I die. But on the rest of the days I am alive. So his question is irrelevant.Art Kalmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580834056439788912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-56075113265109812062016-02-05T00:03:53.559-05:002016-02-05T00:03:53.559-05:00SPEAKING OF WHAT'S IN YOUR POCKET?

Dad observed the following on a bench where three men sat. One was a large vulgarian. The man in the middle was an old Jew in Chassidic garb. The third man was a young Jew. The vulagarian (bulvahn) said to the old man, "Hey Jew, what time is it?" The old man made no reply. *&^% Jew, I asked you what time is it"<br />Still the sage gave no answer. After another fruitless try, the Bulvahn got up, cursed the old man and walked away. "far vus hawt ir nit dem goy gezugt vifl a zeyger s'iss? (Why didn't you tell the gentile what time it is} asked the young Jew. "ken er keekn in mayn hoyzen arayn darzeyn az ikh bin a yid, ken er oykh keekn in my kesheneh darzeyn vifl a zeyger s'ss." (If he can see into my pants to tell I'm a Jew, he can see into my {vest} pocket to tell what time it is.} <br />Reuben Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190645236332276054noreply@blogger.com
