Past Life Regression

In regards to the Gardner article:

Personally, I don't take a firm position on either side; I find the concept of many-worlds facinating-- I like the idea that somewhere, sometime I am lying on the beach at my house in Hawaii and a really hot (heterosexual) butler is bringing me Champagne (granted, I would like it even better if it were in this particular world). I also believe that the universe is infinitely more complicated than anyone can ever know.

That said, the Gardner article strikes me as similar to many of the critics of Darwin (I use Darwin because I wrote my senior thesis on evolution and its critics). Most scientific theories inspire scorn, even mockery, both in their infancy and in their maturity (again, Darwin being an excellent example). IMO, it is this skepticism which inspires many of the most important advances in science.



BTW, what search engine do you use? You have better articles than me. (I use altavista)
