Just a brief follow up: Bill Lauritzen's latest book is available on "google books". [ http://books.google.com/books?id=g6jE_6P-o2kC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_v2_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=&f=false ]
Its truly amazing how using cut and paste off the Internet he has fleshed out his theories about volcanoes (Vulcanic Gods) and "oxygen = soul" from his earlier pamphlet. from page 248 PART I .. However, the field of 'archeoastronomy' is well established and many responsible investigators publish their findings every year [316] PART II .. There is a field of study called 'geomythology' which is not very well known. ..this section makes important contributions ot that field. PART III .. "What the early humans probably called spirit, soul, and often times "God" was primarily an attempt to describe and understand what we now know as "Oxygen" .. this section creates a new branch of science with its elaboration of the connection between the "soul" and "oxygen".. Lauritzen's prescription (page 249) .. Scientists need to quit attacking religion. 1) BY, ... 2) By simplifying their models as much as possible without reducing their high match to reality. page 265, he lists the Santa Fe institute 1984 foundation as an important milestone in the time line. (Incidentally a timeline which conveniently skips the Rig Veda .. among other works .. which predates his oxygen thesis of page 257 virtually word for word).
