QUOTE it would be nice if one doesn't always look for hardcore evidence first up. Often, to believe in a possibility, and then trying to follow up and see whether that might work, leads one to hitherto unseen things.... QUOTE I'd rather call those biased who believe in evolution, where not a single shred of evidence has been uncovered about the changeover from ape to man. QUOTE I treat Mahabharat as a true fact. Does all this say something? "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."

lol, Catch, you seem to be putting me in a spot
 Well, I AM allowed to change my views, aren't I? Anyways, if you look hard enough, you might see the correctness of those statements. The first (statement) is to make a positive beginning. The second was, when a lot of things have been tried, and don't stick well enough, then to be pragmatic and try looking at the issue differently. (I have no issues at all if evolution is proved. Ditto, if it is proved otherwise. There is no victory to be won on any one stand. I am just curious about the truth that EMERGES, than the one that might be ENFORCED.) The third statement is based on hardcore archaeological evidences. (Now don't ask me to start proving everything  )Self - belief is the most potent force.

We would only want to believe what we want to.

Vivek, computer jaise khilone toh sirf HF pe posting karne ke liye istemaal kiye jaate hain...
...not for serious stuff  What do you think life will be like when we have uncovered the fundamental concepts of energy conversion? Self - belief is the most potent force.

Shivani, who dares throw you out? The Great Master means? Pradeep? Why should he? I think you are doing a great job here...
