    Lets call him shep for a while, and see if he brings a stick.
    Now that's what I call an empirical hypothesis.

    How coincidental. This is from an artical about Taoist Philosophy i put in my private forum only a couple of days ago. . .i think it is apt.


    The essential principal has no name, so he tentatively called it Tao, although he realised that naming it was not only inadequate but certrain restrictions were also immediately introduced. Here he came up against a difficulty experienced by other people who have tried to describe the essential principle (there are those within the jewish religion who will not speak the name of God for this reason). In the Muslim religion God is given 99 names. There are of course more than 99 names, but 99 in arabic carries the inherent idea of "many"; as does the term "ten thousand" when used to describe Tao.

    Then,,,, nothing. Admit it folks. God achieved what only a god could. And then he died. :'(
    His creation lives on and we worship his memory so don't cry. Enjoy what he has left us but don't bank on an afterlife.😏
    Everyone knows he died a long time ago. The Romans got him.

    The Tao that can be Taoed is not the true Tao.
