Well, you know there are lots of folks running around trying to tell me that they KNOW what God wants me to do, I suppose it's within the realm of possibility that someone KNOWS for sure what defines a planet, for the same reason, eh? Not to denegrate the planetary physicists, but guys with the same degree thirty years ago pretty much spent their careers telling us bunk and finding a lot of flaws in the theories of the day. I just can't accept that today's theories are now dead-on, even when they coincide with what I tell myself so I can sleep at night. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
