<i> </i>I think there is little to be gained in understanding Urth
as anything but is the future of our Earth. <br>
Perhaps there is some geekish appeal positing that it is the future
of an Earth in some parallel-dimension/universe. But for
understanding the story and backdrop, there is little value one way
or the other.<br>

I think the interest in this debate in founded in ret-conning Briah
to be theologically orthodox Christian. But with all the appeals to
a gnostic framework in the story, why bother?<br>
