That statement assumes the existence of a God.

  G-D is BOTH Male and female as was MAN in the Original creation
"both male and female created He him"
the male was predominate, but not exclusive.
LATER G-D cut HIM in half to create Him as a them
"both male and female created HE (G-D) them
the He of Them said of Her She IS bone of My bone
and flesh of My flesh
He did NOT say of Her she is of similar bones and flesh
but of the SAME bones and flesh.
that is why G-D commanded Him before they became Them to multiply and
procreate, because they could being then in the image of the 1 true
G-D, but then He (G-D split them in half.
note that the hebrew T'Slaw (rib) main
definition the female part(s) not a bone.
it was man who translated that asa bone not G-D

All right, I was too terse.  Allow me, if you will
be so kind, to raise my objections on a point-by-point
basis, rather than merely going for the aphorism:

   -- We have to start somewhere.
   
Only if you feel a need to unscrew the
inscrutable.  One alternative is
to accept, to live, and to live well.

   -- Our awareness seems to be certain
   
Yes.

   -- but clearly does not last that long.
   
That's an assumption, but one I'm willing
to go along with.

   -- It even goes to sleep everyday.
   
Research has shown a great deal of awareness
during sleep, albeit shut off from external input.  
Much of the brain is in fact more active
than during the waking state.  But
it doesn't seem to get written to short-term
memory very well.  But then I wax pedantic.
Ignore this part.

   -- Our mind is so fragile as to go crazy
   -- if we don't eat for several days.
   
Well, no.
   
   -- Wouldn't it be better
   -- if we start with the ultimate frame of reference,
   -- whatever that might be?
   
Well, if you feel the need to, all right.
   
   -- So, let's call it God,
   
No.  That term comes with so much preloading that
I suggest we call It something that does
not contain so many pre-assumptions.  
Let's call It, say, "Marmphy" instead.
   
   -- and give it all the power it needs
   -- to help us understand life;
   -- until we know better, of course.
   
Why does we think Marmphy either cares,
or if It does, requires us to give It
power?  Why would we think that Marmphy
is remotely comprehensible?  Why look
to Marmphy for what you are after?
Perhaps Marmphy, being the "ultimate
frame of reference", is merely the
Cosmic Microwave Bacground, in which
case I doubt that anyone will be
able to derive either purpose or
morality or ressurance or meaning
from It.

   
   -- We can start by saying that
   -- the universe is created
   -- by a mysterious creativity
   -- that is prior to all existence.
   
Um, let's not.  This seems another
uwarranted assumption, but this time
one I'm not willing to play along
with.
   
   -- We are created in its "image".

Oh, man!  

See why I mentioned all the associations
that come along with the term "God"?
The immense leap from "Some Thing created the
universe" to "we're in It's image" is
a clear case of baldly assuming your conclusion.
   
   -- So, we can "listen" to it
   -- if we do so with humility and patience.

   -- Got any better ideas?
   

-- cary
