Because of this reaction on Free Republic, I'm confident Grandpierre and the other scientists will have to endure a lot of condescension before they will be taken seriously as it is. Thus, I believe any theological statements in the proposal would make it untenable to most American scientists.

Likely so, but meanwhile science and other forms of gaining knowledge proceed. That's prophesied in the Bible, you know:

"Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." -- in Daniel 12

BTW, there's about real "brights."

Good night, bright ladies. (I'll just have to find a good Sheldrake interview or review to post, soon....)

Thank you so much for your post!

Indeed, that passage is one of the greatest indications to me that we are prime for the second coming of Christ. Another is II Timothy 3.
