Hi Sea-cat it was'nt aimed at you for goodness sake, don't take umbrage so quickly - I've always believed that there is more out there that needs explanation, and as I pointed out have certain beliefs that cannot be rationalised; this is after all what the discussion is all about. Mustard is digging for the 'experience' whereas I keep my 'experiences' a deep secret ;)
edit Carl Sagan's a Demon-Haunted World is a good book to read, even though it gives an American viewpoint...
