There is currently more observational evidence to support the existence of UFos as a phenomenon worthy of study than there is observational evidence to support the existence of an alleged being, a supreme being...

I for one would certainly like to stimulate more discussion on current abduction research. You may be aware that I have been suggesting the investigation of psychological explanations before we commit ourselves to more exotic explanations. However, this is only a working, testable hypothesis. Whatever, the outcome the subject is fascinating and demands research. -- Keith Basterfield - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Keith.Basterfield@f12.n1040.z9.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Steve.Rose@f134.n109.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Steve Rose) Subject: abductions Date: 30 Nov 91 16:21:00 GMT >> >> So you say UFO's are more believable than God?
