Mike I have to disagree with you. (Nice messages Teri and Roger)

This is the first time I heard that "open mind" or "belief" was
a religious term.

I have a "belief"  in my ability at work to be a number one
sales person. If I didn't -- I might not sell anything. Selling
has nothing to do with having a great product, its about
"believing" and "attitude". And this is not religion, this is
American corporate business.

Evidence? Do we have hard nose facts that Einstein  is right. No
I don't think so, he's got just a "theory".  I never would have
married once if I did not have "faith". The hard nose statistics
would have called me a gamble at 50% failure rate. I was.

Faith? I am glad Queen Isabella had "faith" in Columbus for
after all most people considered him a mad man. I wouldn't have
moved to Seattle in 1990 from L.A. had I not had "faith"  I
could find a better life here. I had no guarantees. Most of us
never do in everything we do in life.

Scientist? Who do we know today is a scientist of ufology? No
one actually. Because some people might have degrees in this or
that does not mean they have the answers. Is Stan or John Mack
or Steven Greer a scientist?

Joe Firmage bills himself as a scientist. He does not have a
degree. He has money, he has intelligence but he has no degree
in any science field/business/arts/etc. Technically speaking he
is a scientist for if you look it up in the dictionary it says a
scientist is a person who studies science. So we all are
scientist for that matter.

I think we are finding today, Mike, that everything in life is a
theory. Who are we? Do we really know? Is your life and the
internet real?  Are our dreams maybe the reallity? What is
reality anyway? If we don't keep an open mind we may never
learn. Tunnel vision is the worst enemy to learning and
evolving.
