Marmalade .... you made me do it again .... just had to go to the dictionary. You are right most of the pans are worldly or theological but there are a few technical ones such panchromatic and panoptic. ....of course pancake ..

Of course this is just a hypothetical god..... being a good little devout agnostic I'm not supposed to know about such things. The short answer is I don't know ... I just can't help thinking intelligent and ordered .... verging on the theistic?
"not simultaneously?".... I suppose it would be cool....certainly explain a lot. What time frame did you have in mind .... a few generations?
So what label would you give to this colection of suppositions?
