Mrrzy, I totally respect data and evidence wherever they can be brought to bear. They cannot be brought to bear in regards to certain spiritual matters which are of great interest to me, that's all.

I am in no way scorning empirical evidence where it can be found and where it is useful.

Please don't read silly things that I don't mean into what I am saying to you. I am no sillier than you. I grew up on the scientific, logical, rational, empirical view of life, and I fully believed that there was no God and no soul and nothing at all like that...probably for the same reasons that you do.

Congratulations on your degrees.

I would frankly rather talk to you about it in PMs, because other people jump in and the conversation gets pulled in some other direction and it gets all screwed up in the process.
