pentagon
the golden ratio is also the ratio of the side of a pentagon to the 'diagonal' length (used to draw stars). now you know how to draw a pentagon with a compass and a straight edge (classic geometry).
you two may also want to check out deism:
Deism - Wikipedia
and relating this back to the thread topic, see:

Re: Pick your universe
Now we are moving into perceptions of reality with the slippery slope to solipsism. How do we know if your reality is my reality? Is there one reality or 6 billion?
We are limited in our ability to understand
by our ability to understand
If your ability, based on past objective experiences and education, is different from mine (and it will be), will not your perception of an event differ from mine no matter how closely we share the experience? Your experience of reality will differ from mine ... so how can we find what reality is really there?
For me it comes down to nonsense quotients: how much of your own experiences education, and your perceptions of the experiences and education of others you must classify as nonsense relative to your overall knowledge in order to maintain your personal worldview -- the higher the nonsense quotient is, the less likely the worldview reflects reality.
