Just because I have been crazy in the past does not make me crazy in the
present.

If I write 'the answers are in the book', I am not suggesting it is in the
book so you have to believe it. Rather, it is there in the book so I don't
need to waste my time and other members' time by typing them here.  You can
go and read if you are interested to get answers... I won't be hurt if you
don't!! 


Pete's diagnosis of his symptoms and his own mental state is clear in black
and white so no need for a reply there either... 

Based on BillK definition, I cannot be a cult member because in the last 15
years I have not done anything  'immoral, illegal, irrational, aggressive or
self
destructive', if anything I have become happier, more educated, with more
degrees (BS, MS, PhD, postdoc with Nobel Prize winner at Harvard) and with a
respected senior scientist position in pharmaceutical industry.  Galileo and
Giordano Bruno would better fit this definition of cult membership, Bruno
being burnt alive by the Catholic church is a pretty 'self destructive
action' he brought on himself... that cult of science and intelligence that
Bruno belonged to!!  

We are defined by our own past and our own experiences (unless we actively
develop our mind)... Pete by his own issues and BillK by his loss and now
they try to superimpose their distorted image on anyone who does not fit
their paradigm!   


A theory that is self-consistent, coherent and is the simplest is the most
likely theory that science upholds according to the Occam's Razor
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_Razor).  RAEL's explanation is such a
theory, no need for self contradictory big bang (out of nothing came
everything which is magic not science!) and no need for evolution with its
exceptions and many unresolved complications.

The infinite universe RAEL describes is far more revolutionary and beyond
Hoyle's steady state.  The universe is not steady state at all, with our
present state of science and understanding, if it can be called anything,
the universe is an ever dynamic "fractal".  you can read the rest...  You
need an open mind to read him, read it as a theory, as a possibility not as
dogma.  We have enough dogmas already...   Theories come first before the
proof.  Consider the theory first.

Intelligence has no limit, imagination has no limit, universe is infinite
and the most amazing infinity is the infinity of human mind.  But we have
not developed or employed the mind well enough.  We need to work on it!   As
you exercise your body you need to exercise your mind.  You need to
meditate...

This does not do justice to what there is to be said but it is enough as a
pointer...
