Mike,

>>As I've already mentioned you have shown no evidence of having anything close to an open mind.

>Question:
>In your opinion, what is an open mind?

Someone who listens I suppose but who is not afraid to look at things from someone else's pov.

>
>If an open mind can only be acheived by believing stories that suggest the opposite of what scientific theories like Natural Selection, Evolution, Chaos have proven over time, then I do not have an open mind.

Well, you presume that the above are indeed proven. I can cite you many many proofs that they are not. As a matter of fact I've been doing just that for some time now if I recall.

>
>Fortunately, my defintion of an open mind is much more abstract (and essentially open) than that.

Well, ga-oooo-leee, there it it. Proof positive that you have defined yourself with an open mind. That settles it then I guess. Mike - only you now have an open mind. You've just proved it because you've said it.

How could I have ever missed that!?!?!

<g>

>Question:
>If I have an open mind, and you have a closed mind, wouldn't it by defintion be impossible for you to truly recognize a open mind? What makes you so sure the problem is on my end?

Ok..

One more time..

Define truth - and how you know it to be true.
