Great question Alex. Very interesting to think about how different it would look if you remove not only the childhood history, the education, the years of participation in it, but also the historical record. At least I think that is what you mean "from the ground up." I am certain it is not possible, but it is very intriguing to consider. My immediate reaction is to return to what I have said before on several occasions are my most fundamental reasons to believe: the existence of beauty and math. No reasonable explanation exists outside of a personal creator God. (But, how can I know that that conclusion isn't driven by all the factors above?)

At any rate, a question I will ponder and maybe respond to at some point. Thanks for the comment.
