I hope others don't mind if we continue this a bit. Now I think we may have something to talk about. Richard, you obviously have very strong opinions - nothing wrong with that, but they can easily be construed as attacks. I share your sentiments regarding Von Daniken but I'm not familiar with the others you cite. From my experience, Latter-Day Saints are no more prone to believe such stuff as any other group of well-meaning but perhaps uninformed people. I'm sure that literal interpretations of some LDS scriptures such as the writings of Abraham (where the Kolob story comes from) can sound just as strange and silly to others as ancient astronaut theories do to me. My take, as a believing LDS, is that the story of Abraham's Kolob, Biblical creation story and other stories from the Old Testament are largely allegorical. After all, how else might God explain to a goat herder concepts of cosmology, big bang theory, inflation, etc.? (Assuming these theories are basically correct, of course - another discussion.) For what it's worth, I've been really disappointed that the History Channel is airing programs on UFO's and ancient astronauts. A lot of nonsense, in my opinion. So, Richard, again I don't think that LDS are more naïve or gullible than others. It's simply a strange but fascinating reality of our American culture. Do you or anyone else know if this kind of stuff is as pervasive elsewhere in the world, particularly in our western counterparts such as Europe? BTW, David - love the cartoon! Kim
