I've checked. Have you? So far you have referred no data, articles, or constructive arguments to support your claim. Just asking others to do homework to your fancy and stop watching movies. > Most of these > disaster scenarios require some kind of miraculous condition that there > is no know way of ever happening.

An equally applicable argument is that people tend to stay ignorant in face of imminent change, and to ridicule all warnings against better knowledge. There are folk tales about that too. It's even a major theme in the Holy Book of two great religions, how the Divine One sent prophets to have the people change their ways. Again, just an argument bashing the other side instead of presenting facts. Jostein -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
