Mike, did I not write (to Rafal)?:

his grownups (or, sounds like, they may be dependent on him?)."
***I also agreed (I don't remember with whom) that the kid is definitely
worth watching.

***Mike, why are you ignoring the whole of what I've written? Please
respond to this point.
***I used the Greg Smith article to open up a discussion on something I've
had difficulty understanding (a predisposition to science with a
supernatural viewpoint at the same time). The term I used ("craft idiot")
is Paul Goodman's. Maybe a lot of people aren't familiar with Paul
Goodman's use of that term, but it describes what I've observed with some
scientists who are dualists. As I've not had any trouble shedding
religiosity at a very early age (and I'm no genius), I was wondering what
people thought. I've learned some things here (I usually do), and
appreciate the input from all the posters.
