Not a Review of Would You Baptise an Extraterrestrial?

By Nick Tabor

…. “It’s sort of like asking, ‘How do you reconcile being a scientist and a Detroit Lions fan?’” The question seems to assume a fundamentalist model of religion, rather than a mystical one, and takes for granted that the two disciplines are separate in the first place.
