    Thank you for that.

    Context, a very useful thing.

    Any "inference" would be strictly from the "context" of your own subjectivity and personal beliefs.

    I seldom 'father any threads' (what an expression!) because in here the ground is so well trodden it has turned to mire ... And that's just the topics that make sense. - Just what do you imagine you 'father your threads' on, Grampy Bobby?

    Enjoyment of the stimulation from the friction of lively conversation... and often the bonus benefit of exposure to different and refreshing points of view.

    one single drop, of coal tar black,
    added to an ocean of titanium white...
    sullies and muddies and distorts the brilliance,
    and destroys all semblance of wrong or right...

    there are too many nuances to truth,
    there are too many subtleties to lies...
    yer question wants simplicity, unattainable,
    unlike slicing up a pie...

    if you find an answer you like, grampy bobby, it will be the wrong one...

    guaranteed...

    A tree makes noise when it falls in the jungle even when no human beings are around to hear it.

    Agree. Human presence isn't necessary because of God's omnipresence.

    Of course it does, the laws of physics don't just disappear when humans are not around. For instance, a mouse hearing that sound would probably poop a little bit when it realized how close it came to being squished. So lets take it out of living things, say a place like Venus, we pretty much can tell there won't be life on the surface, but if a meteor slammed into the ground, becoming a meteorite, does it still make a sound when it first breaks the sound barrier in the lower atmosphere and again when it hits Venus?

    Sound is just pressure waves in a medium.

    A meteorite hitting the ground with or without an atmosphere will generate sound.

    Yes. Omnipresence isn't limited to earth.
