Since my husband is a researcher in the field of science, I am going to give a crack at what a scientist is. I think technically it is a person who has completed their doctorate in a field of some sort of biological research. I know in the building my hubby works at, the so called scientists all have 8 year + degrees and have offices surrounding the researchers with 4 - 6 year degrees.
On a non technical standpoint, my husband is of a scientific mindset. . . .a person dedicated to research and questioning everything (without the 8 year degree). He does plant biology work with disease and DNA sequencing, etc.
I think usually people give themselves that scientist label after they have achieved the appropriate schooling and publish papers. That does not mean, in my opinion, that they are experts in their field and are just Darwin based thinkers either. All scientists can NOT be lumped into one category. I do know some scientists who believe in mysticism.
That is great when a scientist dabbles in mysticism because maybe they can eventually help prove some of it. There are a lot of scientific facts based in quantum theory. On the whole picture although, there is no way we can prove (at this moment) whether God is real or their are beings in other dimensions other then through channeling.

I would like to comment on :
One reason is this weekend I heard a very spritual (and to me enligthtened) statement by a person who some called "spiritual" Yet, somebody else assured me and others that this guy was the very voice of Satan. So, who gets to decide who is hearing from God and who is wacko or possessed (if ya believe in such things.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That has been a big question for me also. I have had visions directing my life and people saying that the dark side is possessing me and attributing to these thoughts. I have been healed at least twice (in life and death situations and once was by a pastor over long distance healing) and some Christians (like Jehovah Witnesses) tell me that demons healed me to influence my mind away from the truth of God's Words (the bible) and all miracles are demon oriented in present day.
I have come to the conclusion that if in your heart, you believe that a thought or feeling or message is benign and coming from a good source then go with it. Strict Christians are never going to side with all New Age subjects.
Do not get me wrong, some Christians do believe in miracles, prophecy and the power of the supernatural . . . just not all. I have learned to listen to my intuition and differentiate when dark forces are involved.
What does your heart feel about this enlightened man's statement? Always go by your gut (not head but the ping in your 3rd chakra area.) Realize that every person (and especially Christians) opinions are just statements based off of their indoctrination.
I did not see the correlation to the scientist question and the enlightened man but maybe I missed something.
This is a thread off of the crystal skull guy. Yes, he can be a scientist and mystic too. He has the education (I pressume) but I feel his talk was based more off of mysticism. The fact remains is there are not many facts.
