You guys actually pay attention to a psychology professor? For a bunch of well grounded science guys, you seemed to overlook a couple of key points in this guy's scientific findings...

Quote:
As far Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a supernatural cosmic event, which I don't believe or a legend, which I don't believe either,
Quote:
Moses was probably also on drugs when he saw the "burning bush," suggested Shanon, who said he himself has dabbled with such substances.
OK. So this soberly eminent and respected scientist issues a press release to say that he's got two beliefs and a guess, about the behavior of a historical personality (which conflicts with the historical record) and of which he has no supporting physical data except for the logic that "Hey -- I used to do drugs, so Moses must have too!" ???

His logic sound like something from "Fast Times at Jerusalem High"

What a waste of time.
