*Let us pray* *Tue Nov 10 20:04:49 PST 2009* FWIW, Gregor Mendel, who is known as the "father of modern genetics", was a monk; as was, in a manner of speaking, Abbe Faria our own "father of hypnotism".
Joao observes: True! But what is his contribution to spirituality? Or for that matter, Abe Faria? Can you compare them with the two great scientists of the soul and inner consciousness, Gautama the Buddha or Patanjali? They both give you a road map to the soul or various levels of consciousness and tell you to journey on your own and find out if what they say is true or not! They don't call you sheep and take away your dignity! No, that is not the way of the scientists of the Inner, of Subjectivity. Someone mentioned that Jesus has been to heaven and come back so he knows what he is talking about. Do you know that Mahomet also went to heaven in his lifetime on a horse? Is Jesus description of heaven the same as that of Mahomet? Can anyone enlighten me?

There are Catholic priests who are the authors of scientific theories. There are Catholic priests who are working in the Pontifical Academy of Sciences at the Vatican. Dr.Santosh seems to be ignorant in this field.Regards. Fr.Ivo _
