I suspect the new guy is having us on, mostly because I don't trust anyone called 'cromwell'.

Which kind of fairies are you talking about? The cute little Victorian version or the ones in legends and folktales which are very scary?

I have the kind of brain which produces odd, subjective experiences. I once saw a shadowy, female form rising from a moorland pond in Wales. Did my brain create this image because I knew about the legends etc or was it this kind of odd experience which started the legends off in the first place?

Neurotheology is concerned with the neuroscience of religious belief and behaviour but I think it's logical to suspect that a belief in fairies is somehow related to religious belief.

Clearly, fairyists have limited imaginations.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I had a Saint Bernard named Cromwell when I was a kid.
