E-mail from Michael Roll to Dr Nicola Holt (November 14, 2004): Survival Terminology

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"Professor Richard Dawkins highlights the current situation with regard to what is referred to as paranormal phenomena when he concludes that if it is eventually proved that what is known as the paranormal exists then it will turn out to be something that is natural and normal after all - coming within the laws of nature.

E-mail from Michael Roll to Dr Roger Berry (October 24, 2004): So-called Paranormal Phenomena

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"please be kind enough to write to the Home Office regarding the fact that whenever the subject of so-called paranormal phenomena is featured on mainstream media outlets the public are only being allowed access to just one expert opinion - the one being put forward by parapsychologists like Professor Richard Wiseman who start from the base that "paranormal phenomena" do not exist.

Letter from Alan Valiant to Michael Roll (August 16, 2004): Complaint Aboutcfpf.org.uk

Author Alan Valiant brought to our attention an incorrect reference to him on this site as a "Spiritualist".
We are happy to correct this error.
A "Spiritualist" is an adherent of Spiritualism, a monotheistic (one-god) religion.
A "spiritualist" accepts the reality of life beyond death.
In his letter, Alan Valiant points out that he looks to not one, but three gods.

In his letter, Alan Valiant writes:
"The book was written at the request of the Lord God who is featured prominently in the bible. The monotheistic theory is false. There are three gods in the spiritual world, not one. To claim, as you do, that I am most likely being given information by "a joker in the etheric world who is on an ego trip and is pretending to be the creator the creator of the universe" is childishly ridiculous. How can you, who claim to be a reasonable and rational man, criticise a book that you have not read?"

Open Letter from Dr Victor Zammit to Billy Graham (May 29, 2004)

In his letter, Victor Zammit writes:
"(...) there are five grounds why evangelists and fundamental Christians do NOT and can never have universally acceptable, enforceable authority emanating from the Bible.
i) the subjectivity of the Biblical texts (as against empiricism);
ii) the original Biblical texts do not exist;
iii) many of the contents cannot be attributed to God;
iv) contents have been plagiarized from previous spiritual writings and
v) the Bible has been changed a number of times greatly reducing its credibility."

E-mail from Ron Pearson to New Scientist (May 17, 2004): A Holistic Solution is Available

In his e-mail, Ron Pearson writes:
"Readers need to know that a little read theory has been available in a scientific journal since 1997 that shows all these problems can be resolved simultaneously. Added credibility is provided from the way a solution to the vexed question of the "cosmological constant" is provided - and no other solution has yet appeared!"

E-mail from Professor Peter Wadhams to Michael Roll (May 7, 2004): Sir William Crookes

In his e-mail, Professor Peter Wadhams writes:
"It is a psychological phenomenon. Deep down they know that great scientists who engage in this kind of work and get positive results should be believed and should cause this subject to become a central theme of the world's scientific effort. But they dare not accept this thought. So to square their consciences and make the dissonance less extreme they have to invent reasons to pretend that the great scientist is not actually as great as he seems, that he's somehow naive or bonkers or that his conventional discoveries weren't as important as they at first appear."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Sam Nicholls (February 27, 2004): James "The Amazing" Randi

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"No qualified scientists are allowed on British television to put the secular scientific case for survival after death. There are far too many powerful "experts" with too much to lose when people eventually have access to the scientific case for a separate mind and brain."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Tony Ortzen (January 22, 2004): Materialisation Mediums

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"Surely Derek does not think religionists have a monopoly of ethics? How about following philosophers like Thomas Paine and Arthur Findlay - thinkers. Let's now say to all the priests, mullahs, rabbis and ministers of religion, move over, you have made a terrible mess of the world."
