I probably read it already, 30+ years ago. I'm pretty sure I read all of Bradbury. But I may have a re-read.

On another note, I find it strange that nobody demonstrates the slightest curiosity as to the scientific path to Christ.

Well, in my limited experience, most people who say they follow Christ have this weird belief where miracles and God cannot be understood through any means whatsoever except through the Bible. They have this belief that science can only explain the "mundane" rather than being able to explain the "extraordinary" or "supernatural".

It doesn't seem crazy to me to think that if Christ were to do his miraculous acts with scientists recording everything about the act and the situation, then we would have a closer understanding of what's happening on a physical level. That just seems logical to me. If I mention this to my traditional family, they tend to scoff and say that God is unknowable, and that miracles are unexplainable.

It has long been something that has irked me.

You talk about a science of the mind, an exact science, and you speak of a scientific path to Christ. These truths feel very foreign to the modern man. I'm curious about it, but until I learned new words, I didn't even know what it was that I was curious about. It feels as though I have literally been living most of my life with my mind closed off to objective reality.
