The turtles remark was a partial jest and a direct reference to levels of infinity. Metaphysics postulates as if all infinities are the same, but they are not. Recall your somewhat jesting remark about the stone God could not lift - jack it up one more level or so and the stone becomes liftable. At what level infinity is God - the ultimate level of Cantor, somewhere in between, or at whatever level the situation requires? To answer that, we must delve deeper into how we personally define the concept of God, which may vary from person to person, even among non-theists.One more issue for you, as a dualist - do you postulate that dualism applies to homo erectus and our precursors? At what stage of evolution does humankind become dualistic? Or do you postulate all animals as dualistic? Or would that be a subject for another thread?
