    About this ebook

    Mr. Lynch brings to the fore some new theories on a variety of topics that have puzzled us for many years, while we stubbornly cling to some beliefs (as we did with the Flat Earth belief, even to the extent of persecuting and imprisoning those who questioned it). And for some strange reason, we continue to claim that Columbus "discovered" America. He encourages research in a new direction (crop circles) and endeavors to explain why so many incompatible heads-of-state seem to unanimously agree on one single topic. He explains what could be seen as "the Ultimate Weapon". He points to Mankind being so arrogant, that not only do we see ourselves as the "center of the universe", but we even attempt to take credit for affecting global weather, while ignoring history.

      Chapter 1

      I am who I am

      First, Do No Harm! I know that’s most often associated with the Hippocratic Oath, but the medical profession should not have a monopoly on benign intent. One of the giants, on whose shoulders I am perched, the great visionary and theoreticist, Erich Von Daniken, was harshly attacked when he was first published, being unjustly accused of all manner of mayhem, including a virtual schism. It’s not that I fear criticism, unjust or otherwise, I simply wish to make it clear that I am not attempting to begin a movement as I write this opus on similar topics to his, and proffer some new theories. Also, I am not betraying any ideology that I have professed in establishing my existant friendships and associations. I also know You can’t please everybody, so, deal with it! And Erich, thank you so much: the view up here is fascinating and, yes, I heard you were a rascal.

      And as for Fame and Fortune, as I look upon my three children, I feel that they represent three Olympic Gold Medals in Parenting. So fame is already mine. And as to Fortune, I’m already blessed abundantly by God, and a frugal, fiscally-talented wife. The rest is gravy--- which is fattening.

      Having said that, I am quick to urge the pursuit of Humility, even though I more often don the cloak of Arrogance. I know it’s wrong, ergo I err. But there are times in life where Humility must be practiced.

      One such time Humility is downright essential, is when I pray, since I am keenly aware of my littleness in the eyes of God, who consistantly treats me much better than I deserve. While I ponder
