Well Bart, 

as a trained scientist and a student of science I was taught that 
the onus is on the other scientist to disprove a theory presented, 
not to prove it. The onus is on the theoretician to postulate and 
set forth, again not to prove it is true. 

Then there is the reproducibility factor. That is the sine quo non 
of science. In my manuscript I will be synthesizing once again. This 
time it will be the inner side of meditation and the outer science 
of cosmology and physics. Eventually hope that others will 
investigate and be able to reproduce within themselves the 
experience of the atom. That is what going inside is really and 
truly all about: going inside atomic nature period.

I am merely speculating that Einstein probably discussed the SD with 
somebody. And in order to discuss a book like the SD at some point 
one must have been familiar with it or in process of reading it. 
THat was implied in my statement.

Then Einstein having no love or need for Judaism would not be so put 
off by HPB's characterizations of Judaism as an evil religion. He 
had no use for religion at all.

And thank you Jerry for this nice vindication of how it may have 
happened or did.
