I'm Ok, I just came home from work...I asked the question in fun but also in view of God wanting us to learn as well. I find out answers based on looking in the Scriptures for them ... so the underlying question would be what in the Bible, answers the question..."can something exist without being perceived?"
The reason I asked it was because the question was originally asked by Earnest (and I might add, he too was being playful) whether the Dory Cartoon character GIF would remain encouraging the other to swim if we were not in its presence; during our shut-down computer and smart phone times.. And based on that premise therein, I gave it a continuance in recollecting its prowess in Wisdom by creating a new question to add to his point.
Did I answer that to your satisfaction Mrs Peabody? If not I will articulate it to the max for ya.....LOL
