Has it ever occurred to you that every human civilization that has ever existed, has had a belief (in one form or another), in the supernatural? In other words, every civilization has held that the senses do not tell us the whole story of mankind's relationship to the manifested world.

Label me whatever you want. Not once has either Alex or myself claimed to be the 'be all and end all.'
I base my views on the works of those who are experts in the field. My expertise in astronomy is minor planets, and I'm probably not the only one here.
I'm not sure how various civilisation's religious views impact what is orbiting our sun right now, but good on you for trying.
