I'm sure if it turns out to be true there will be more reports confirming the findings in a few years! That’s certainly a possibility Kat.

C.S. Lewis can't be "living proof" anymore can he? Oh well, he was living proof, and his Space Trilogy is still alive and kicking, and read by many, many Christians with a fondness for science fiction. Oops. C.S.

What if the reason the less dependable folks weren’t as conscientious in 1994 was because the early stages of Alzheimer’s had already set in, and the poor souls couldn’t remember what it was they were supposed to do? Then it would only look like they weren’t conscientious, when really they were just forgetful. :-) Oh, and being nuns and priests and all, maybe the ones who stayed healthy just had a lot of people praying for them!! (I know, I know. That idea won't be popular with this crowd, but C.S. Lewis and I are both living proof that belief in God and a love of science/science fiction do mix.)
