No, skeptics won't cooperate is no longer a problem.  I'll just preach to the converted instead!

You've backflipped 3 times and so has Peter with his "we'll consider a test
if you yadayada" then he refuses to discuss any protocol and dismisses it
with some general denial he's heard off you.

huh?  Sylvia Sylvia, if you want to test my power you must assume the hypothesis
that 1 billion religious people are right momentarily and like Mulder said to Scully
GO WITH IT SYLVIA!

www.MindReading.com

1 Q per day - put (Cosmology) next to your name so God doesn't use the bible instead,
and page numbers are 1..333, line 1..33.

Before posting this I checked if it was all good with a channel.
