Joel, Please provide me with only original sources of evidence, translated in English (would have said "or Konkani", but I don't want to sound more disingenuous than required for this amusing thread:-). Massaged evidence is hard to digest. Dan I have to admit (goodnaturedly, of course) I am a little unsure about buying your book, because the website that sells it claims folks who bought that book also bought a book entitled "Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds":-). The last time I bought a book that was also bought by people who bought the latter book, it was a complete waste of my time and money. It was a book called "Forbidden Archeology" published by the Bhaktivedanta Institute, the premier seminary of the Hare Krishna followers. The authors who were scientists provided us with hard evidence for an ancient Vedic spiritual civilization (circa 10000 BC) more advanced than the present material one. Both authors had left Christianity to embrace Krishna consciousness after carefully weighing all available logic and evidence. Now if I could shed my cloak of playful disingenuousness just for this last paragraph, I never understand why people have to be defensive about being religious. Why not say that you believe in your religion because you have a deeply felt intuition about it. It is based on your personal faith. What is so embarrassing about admitting that? Faith in something is always good for your health and peace of mind. Why do you have to engage in this charade that your religious belief is based on logic and evidence? Why do you have to mention that even thinkers and scientists have converted themselves to some evidence-based religion? Why do you need reassurance from a scientist?
