No, I don't quantify that probability, Bill. I'm giving my personal opinion about it, that's all. My opinion is based partially on some experiences I've had, as well as on what I "like", but those experiences did not occur in a science laboratory or with science people standing by to take notes, so they're only useful evidence for me personally...certainly not for anyone else.

"Where we differ is usually where I don't speculate and you tend to speculate."

Yeah, that's exactly the difference between us. I tend to speculate about various things that you don't tend to speculate about. I think it's just a question of having differing areas of interest. When it comes to the factual and empirical stuff that can be confirmed by recorded evidence, we are most likely to be on the same page.

I am hopefully awaiting my hypothetical opportunity to meet you in the afterlife and say, "I told you so!" *smile*
