I am not trying to upset you. I am not joking. Think of it this way: In the future someone appears CLAIMING to be the next Manifestation and produces a family tree showing he is descended from Baha`u'llah. Why can that family tree NOT be falsified? So, in that instance, it would prove nothing by itself. One would still have to make the decision to follow or not follow on a spiritual basis.
Regards,
Scott

You still joke? If family trees are nothing for you, then the hereditary principle (including our beloved Guardian in it) should be nothing ! but NOTHING for you until you check it in a laboratory! The same for the Imanate until you be sure or desecrate Imams holy tombs. The glorious lineage of both the Báb and Baháulláh, the instruction of Siyyid Kazim, etc., etc.

No, desecrating a tomb is not an answer, and getting actually genetic proof of anything! is not going to be a possibility. The choice will have to be what it has always been, a spiritual decision, reached by taking free will in one's grasp and accepting responsibility for it when the time comes.Regards,Scott
