If it is enough proof for you then you will appreciate and respect the fact
that it is not enough proof for me and may not be for others. This, of
course is what I was trying to discover. Were your comments based upon
facts or opinions. There is nothing wrong with opinions (God knows I have
lots) but one should not confuse them with facts.

This is why so many people have a different interpretation of what
spirituality is. Of course, that is why spirituality cannot be confused
with science and one has to always be clear that the two don't get mixed up
together. So long as one doesn't confuse the two they can coexist just
fine.

It is a beautiful story but it isn't science.
