I know what your saying but that website wasn't my only or even best
source of info but it was the best I could find on the web. Most of
what I know about this came either from books, magazine articals and
even T.V programs. They all say a lot of scientists belive this is
possable.

I've been really surprised how many people on this list have been so
wuick to dismiss this theory without looking at the evidence or even
thinking about it. Just because something goes against your veiw of the
world doesn't mean it isn't true. A lot of people think that the earth
will be here forever but that may not be the case and if it isn't then
it's best to be prepared for it.

I would expect more from a group which always claims it has an open mind
