I'm agreeing with what he says. I assumed it was common
knowledge among those who keep up to date with evolutionary theory. I'm
just saying that I am leary of single-cause explanations because of my
expereince as a historian. (Lead plates caused the fall of the Roman
Empire, corn is what made the Aztechs so insane, and the Witchhunt is a
result of ergot poisoned grains). I would never put it in the category
of astrology.
What I am saying is that certian theories and ideas apeal to our
mythic sense, like blood. I don't think I compared the idea to that of
Nemisis: the Death Star. No one can argue that there being an evil sun,
the twin to our own, which comes around and vexes the earth once every
Aeon, isn't a bit like Zoroastrianism.
