Here's my stats 16, high school sophmore Multiple magazine subscriptions, Time, Popular Science, Rolling Stone, etc. Heavy interest in science and philosophy. Winner of state anatomy tournament, possibly how they found me. They seem to be targeting the young, promising intellectuals who will hypothetically further their "foundation." Very pro-evo in itself. 12/16/09

Scientist by education, Meteorology degree from a large state school about 10 years ago. At present, I'm an Information technology manager at a large company. I believe Scientific American's subscription list is the culprit...I take that, ESPN and Sports Illustrated under my name at this address. I think I actually recall seeing an add for this in a recent SciAm a few months ago. Received today, December 15, 2009, in Texas.

That’s the only common thread that comes to mind. As for the financial backing of the “Foundation”, I’ve no idea. As for Joe Haid, I guess that he died happy and happily. R.I.P.

I'm in my late teens, am left politically and economically, and am an atheist. I buy a lot of Sci Fi books and often read on the subjects of physics and astronomy. I'm sub'd to Scientific American and Discover. I'm not sure how they're determining who to send these books. A lot seem to be philosophy or science majors or interests but people not even in college or having one of those degrees are getting them. Got this today in the mail (December 14, 2009).

That's not really compatible with the theory that college students get it so I'm led to believe that they choose the recipients randomly. But I'm not sure how they got my name. Even though personal information can be bought from companies, I don't think the publishers/ "Foundation" did that. Well I got this book in Dec. 2009 and I’ve never been to college, being 16.

Have we seen this stuff before? German scientology is no less pseudo-scientific than L. Ron Hubbard's version, and no less omniscient in its voice. Everyone here is correctly suspicious. Christians sure have a lot of money to send it around, eh? Ever wonder who funds this effort? Intelligent Design is all the rage with Christian intellectuals. How many angels can dance in Planck Time? They just can't get it right. "Humans cannot contemplate the complexity of nature, THUS some intelligence far greater than Man must have." Quaint. Dismissive of science, "modern" ID scribes recycle the same nonsense as did their medieval predecessors. As for "the origins and meaning of existence", why not just love your neighbor and help the world feed itself?

I'm a Christian and have no idea why I would receive this type of publication. After performing a cursory scan and reading bits of it, I'll be content to pray that all who buy into this come to know who is really in charge of the universe. This has mindless cult written all over it. It's most certainly a "book" for people that are spiritually lazy and actually believe that we can save ourselves. It's just one more way that Satan leads those who believe this away from Christ their Savior. I’d highly recommend it to those who believe that the world is ending on 12-21-2012. It reminds me of the pseudo intellects I used to hang out with before becoming a believer in Christ as my one and only Savior. Sorry folks, but anyone who actually believes this is an idiot, plain and simple This came in the mail yesterday (12-12-09) and as an investigator; I found the clandestine nature of its source fascinating.
