The exploring mind doesn't dismiss things because the evidence isn't already placed on the table for him. I use "objectivist" with quotation marks because those in the "objectivist" camp usually equate scepsicism with being objective -when it is really more about dismissing things unless someone else provides the evidence. Not because the fenomenon i question is impossible, but because someone else has not yet served up the evidence. So I repeat that there is a big difference between creating a view of the world based on probabilities (which we all do), and extrapolating this into a world of fixed "it must be so" values. It is a mark of the inquisitive mind to question the establised facts. (And I'm NOT defending mysticism by saying this!) -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
