its impossible to quantify in terms of time, could be tomorrow, could be a decade, could be several decades, i cannot be any more explicit than that Wolfgang, sorry. There are only indications, anything that goes beyond that, i dont think can be substantiated.
For all this ongoing research that Galvo alluded to, it's led you to conclusion that is incredibly unspecific.
I'd have a word with your researchers.

But the question is when? And on that matter you can't say anything other than 'sometime in the future', which means you don't have a clue when it will be do you?

Originally posted by Proper Knobthese things are not within the realm of humans to know, i already stated that not even Christ nor the angels know, only the Father, that is not the same as , in your own words, 'not having a clue', for clearly there are indications, plus, 'not having clue', has certain connotations which i think is particularly appropriate, for example, in predicting weather patterns, the met office has certain field stations which feed back data, indicating that a certain pattern might take place, they cannot state with unerring accuracy what shall take place and when, but we dont then state, they, 'haven't got a clue', do we? Therefore its better to state that the indications are that it must be close, that is more fair and more accurate than, 'you dont have a clue'.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieRobbie - I normally respect your opinions but this is getting ridiculous! To say something is 'soon' implies that you have an upper limit. you will not say what that upper limit is. Therefore 'soon' has ZERO meaning.

Let me try and help;
would you consider 'soon' to be within 200 years?
