It is not that I am dull, it is that my questions and ideas are a threat to your religious world view.

You overestimate the threat that you pose. Your ideas are mostly harmless. Actually I believe having you here for a little bit was a net benefit to us. Trying to explain things across overwhelming inferential distance (and to people who are not @#%$@s) is useful. As is seeing other people attempting to do the same.

All the experimenting with imaginary numbers will not explain a thing about reality. It is relgion plain and simple.

Didn't anyone tell you? We Believe that Eliezer is the reincarnation of Pythagoras come to share the Good News about imaginary numbers and complex amplitudes.

Well, I was going to describe a hypothesis and rationally explain a theory to you that answers all questions and unites everything. Yes, you heard right, a Grand Unified Theory....but my GUT tells me you prefer "point-less" discussions.

Teehee. You have a Grand Unified Theory that doesn't use mathematics. That's adorable.
