"Gives rise to the possibility." Hmmmmm.....now this is very
clear...are you saying that I could be right, but for the sake
of not yet giving up......Ok.....but remember this, some insurance
companies made a ton of money about five years ago when some yahoo
predicted a major earthquake in the middle of Illinois...to occur on a
specific day. These insurance companies all made out with lots of profit
for selling earthquake insurance.......and you know, the earthquake was
based on "the possibility". The possibility that the sun might explode
tomorrow over something we do not yet understand is there....remote but
there.....
