One more thing. I hope to find your book somewhere and hopefully purchase it, because the way you speak is kind of the way you right, and it’s not all mono tone.
Thanks.

I just LOVE your youtube videos. I just discovered them today. I am so facinated by the complexity and thought of the entire universe. Your videos of all of the questions from kids has tought me SO MUCH today, and I understood every single part of it. I have found out that, I think EXACTLY, and I mean EXACTLY like you, but I am one of those people who cant get their thoughts out in verbal expression (speech) or onto paper. I felt that your love for science and the way you described it and explained it, is just heart warming.
Thank you Phil. Thank you.

Phil,

The book idea sounds great, and I love the reason you are writing it, however, Sam Wise has a really good point. Providing the revrend ‘Bob’ in Tennessee isn’t preaching Armageddon the title shouldn’t be confusing nor linking your book to his web site. Most folks seem to refuse to link religion and astronomy anyway.

If there is a concern here, I think ‘Above’ relates to anything from overhead on a gravitational or spiritual (power) prospective. Since there really is no ‘Above’ nor ‘below’ once we leave our atmosphere would a different title be appropriate? Plus the reverend ‘Bob’ wouldn’t be sharing or trying to share the same title.

Just a thought….
