OPEN MIND???  I know I'll get flamed for this one, but boy, have you been
fooled by one of Satan's greatest masterpieces of propaganda!  You deny
anything that doesn't fit into your tidy little limited stuffy boxes of
scientific rigor (mortis), and you call that keeping an open mind?  You're
not hurting yourself; you're suffocating yourself inside your scientific
prejudices.
/* ---------- */

I don't see the person to whom this was a flame as having denied *anything*;
he merely stated what would convince him that the phenomenon in question does
occur. He may share my opinion that speaking in tongues as you describe it
(i.e. being caused/allowed by God to speak intelligibly in a language one
does not know) is "unlikely" (a loose usage of the term, admittedly), and that
one might as well conduct one's affairs as if it were false.

What *is* that masterpiece of propaganda?
