Well, DANG! And I thought I had a good source. Sounds like they are trapped in a bit of self-delusion, only using the material that suits them. I always swore I wouldn't get struck by the "Von Daanikan" delusion: believing something so much, you alter the existing evidence to support it!

while "creating a mystical tradition out of old materials but suited to modern needs" is in some ways quite admirable, I don't like being blinded to other facets of reality at the same time.

Thanks for the heads-up, guys!
