Sorry; I was feeling crabby when I wrote that last letter about alien abductions.
But now that I've thrown a rock in the pond, I have a pebble to throw in after it: If alien abductions -- which are pretty rare -- are taken as convincing proof of the existence of aliens, shouldn't theophanies -- which are rather common, certainly far more common than alien abductions -- be taken as convincing proof of the existence of God? (The people who experience them typically interpret them that way, of course.)
