Hi Stephen, I don't know what your religion is. All I know is that when the discussion veers away from the math and data, it bases upon our faith in our own personal opinion. Such a discussion is indistinguishable from a religious discussion. If we stay with the science then we should have no difficulty in communication.
If it gets to a point where we are cornered, we can ask for more time to investigate our argument before admitting the need to change our view. But someplace along the line the science should lead us unequivocally to the same conclusion. Are these terms fair enough? Dave -----Original Message----- From: Stephen A.

Sigh... OK, you're right, at the very least I insinuated it pretty strongly... I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry I called you a crank, and if you don't assert that my religion must be SR if I don't immediately grasp your arguments, I promise I won't do it again.
