Donald, That's very interesting. I had always assumed that the emphasis on mesmerism was just one of those attempts at an assimilable explanation for the non-practitioner. As stage hypnotism acts were common and astonishing to many a kind of quasi theory was adopted to explain what they were doing to appease the 'scientific' minded casual reader. If they really believed it that's another matter entirely.

Here's conclusive proof:

depends how you define it.

Thou art forgiven.

Possibly but not endless discussions about how to define a net. Please remember it's us poor sods have to read this stuff.

What I would say is that although we know that there are very many stars in the universe and that many of them have planets, we don’t know if life is common in the universe or something special to our planet. It is more likely because the universe is so huge and that we live in an unremarkable part of it, that life is common - but we don’t know for sure. We also don’t know if life originated on this planet or came here naturally by comets or meteors or even carried by another evolved lifeform like ourselves. But either way we do know that life on earth develops through a natural process called evolution and that human beings like all other life came originally from simple single celled organisms which existed when the earth was very young. These organisms produced over time a variety of types and forms and the most successful in terms of reproducing and getting food persisted at the expense of the less successful. As this happened over vast periods of time more and more complex variations in living beings arose - some died out but the others continued to develop - until modern human beings like you and me developed from previous similar ape like beings about a quarter of a million years ago.

Yeah but the idea is that you formulate an answer.
