Quantum mechanics was mentioned earlier-- that's some interesting stuff. Instant Communication? Whoah. That's Instant with an "I". Faster-than-light "travel". (Re: "that is impossible" -- Science has said "no" as much as Religion, yet some people put on airs! ;]) We've done it in the lab. Well, that, and all kinds of other super-far-out loco type stuff. Photons though things photons shouldn't have gone through. Experiments in probability that have boggling implications, yadda yadda. *giggles* Anyways, it's entirely possible that merely "thinking good thoughts" at this person, in some quantifiable way, does some "good". (for some reason I thought of the "South Park" episode where the angles are like "but, god /wants/ him to die!"... =]) So what I'm getting at, is that science has come further in showing how possible a lot of "supernatural" stuff actually is than, well- "random" people just saying it, I guess. Are thoughts a form of action? Can we accurately determine the effect X has on Y? Will I ever tire of the sheer wonder that is existence? READ THE BOOK! (Remember those ads? UFOs and The Pyramids, baby!) -- Heaven means to be one with God.
