    Mr. Hammond,

    [Hammond]:
    Let history record that it was Vandergraaf who was the first to
    state the obvious about Hammond's discovery.

    [Vandergraaf]
    Let history record that Vandergraaf had his tongue firmly planted in his
    cheek when he did some long-distance electronic leg pulling! Let history
    further record that the thud "heard around the world" was Mr. Hammond
    falling for it, hook, line and sinker. ;-)

    [Hammond]:
      BTW, you don't by any chance have a famous relative named
    Van de Graaf who invented the legendary Van de Graaf generator,
    the World's first particle accelerator, do you?

    [Vandergraaf]
    There is a story that one of our relatives was working on a battery-powered
    conveyor belt sorting tulip bulbs when a wire came loose and the tulip bulbs
    started to drift in one direction.

    [Hammond]
    Clear thinking, and very much to the point. Yes, this discovery
    confirms what everybody already suspects, that the "supreme deity" of
    every major religion is one and the same. He simply goes by different
    names in different cultures; God, Allah, Jehovah, Buddha Spirit, Vishnu,
    Great Sky Chief, etc. etc.
      In short, the answer to your question is "yes" there is only
    one "generic God" and all religions are worshiping one and the same God.
      For the more technically inquisitive, science has discovered that
    in Psychometry there is a hierarchy of psychological factors
    (eigenvectors), referred to as the 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th order Factors.
    There are no factors beyond the 4th order, and:

    1st order: Approx. 30 factors (demigods)
    2nd order: 14 Factors (Greco-Roman-Egyptian Pantheon)
    3rd order: 4 Factors (4-Gospel 'Saints')
    4th order: 1 Factor (God, Allah, Jehovah, etc.)

    The entire history of religion is a history of the slow discovery
    of this hierarchy. The most sophisticated religions (Christianity,
    Judaism, Islam) have clearly reached the single 4th order factor
    which is the God of the Bible.
      The Eastern religions being more primitive, still include the
    "lesser gods", the 2nd, and in the case of Hinduism, even the
    1st order factors. Note that Christianity also gives great
    reverence to the 4-3rd orders, known as "Matt, Mark, Luke
    and John" (these also exist at the 2nd order since they are
    orthogonal eigenvectors, i.e. the metrical eigenvectors BTW).
      However, it is safe to say, that in the year 2000, ALL of
    the world's major religions have clearly recognized the existence
    of the single 4th order factor (first discovered by Akhenaton
    and Moses BTW), as the central "God" of religious worship.
    There is no serious question that the "entire world" when it
    references "religion", is in fact referring to the single
    4th order factor, which is commonly called "God" in the West.

    [Vandergraaf]
    This is fitting the data to the theory and shows a surprising lack of
    theological understanding. The Greeks and Romans already recognized a "head
    honcho" (Zeus, Jupiter), in addition to their "demigods." In Europe, Thor
    ran the show. It does not take a lot of thought to figure out that, in
    concepts that include a large number of deities, someone has to "rule the
    roost," so to speak, simply to avoid mayhem. This proves very little.
    In some branches of Christianity, there are certainly trends to put some
    believers on a bit of a pedestal by calling them "saints" and naming
    churches and towns after them, but there are certainly more than the four
    gospel writers that merit this distinction, as can be seen by looking at a
    Quebec roadmap.
     
    > Would you please divulge the peer-reviewed scientific journal that
    published
    > your preliminary paper?

    [Hammond]
    Yes. This is a preliminary paper announcing the discovery of the
    Structural Model in Psychometry, and the basic structural physics
    discovery upon which the scientific proof of God rests:

    HAMMOND G.E. (1994), The Cartesian Theory, in: New Ideas In Psychology,
                         Vol 12(2), pp 153-167, Pergamon Press

    For your convenience, and to save you a trip to the library,
    a copy has been place online, fully illustrated, at:

    http://people.ne.mediaone.net/ghammond/cart.html

    Three years later, I discovered that this discovery, when added
    to the discovery of "IQ" (the 4th dimension of the metric),
    immediately leads to a simple and elegant scientific proof of God.

    [Vandergraaf]
    By my reckoning, this discovery must have taken place around 1997. So, why
    is it taking you five or six years to publish this? Get on with it, man!

    [Hammond]
    No.... I am simply a Michael Faraday type, or a Thomas Edison.
    My fascinating discovery is based on the heavy lifting done
    by Einstein, Freud, Eysenck, Cattell, Thurstone and many
    other "real scientists". For Pete's sake someone would take
    me for the doorman if seen in the company of such great men.

    [Vandergraaf]
    Mr. Hammond, you are much too modest for somebody who claims to communicate
    privately only with Nobel Laureates and a few selected others (and here I
    quote part of your response to Dr. George Murphy):

    "...Excuse me for responding to you personal email publicly,
    however, I must inform you that I do not talk to people
    privately unless they are recognized international authorities,
    Nobel Laureates, or unusual interdisciplinary experts...."

    All the best in your attempts to contact Prof. Pollack at Columbia.
