Chris likes to rubbish morphic resonance at least once a week, and I think he doesn't realise that theories often start off as tentative gropings after the truth.

I respect Rupert Sheldrake because he doesn't pepper his ideas with a large theoretical superstructure that is not justified by the facts, he concentrates on exposing facts that suggest ?, but then falls foul of Chris for not having a complete theory!
