E-mail from Michael Roll to Sam Nicholls (December 10, 2002): James Randi

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"[Randi] and his supporters are always given total freedom on all media and educational outlets in the UK to attack arguably two of the greatest scientists that Great Britain has ever produced: The President of the Royal Society and holder of the Order of Merit, Sir William Crookes, and the inventor of radio, Sir Oliver Lodge FRS. No scientist, however well qualified, is allowed on media and educational outlets to balance these attacks."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Professor Deborah L Delanoy (December 5, 2002): The Perrott-Warrick Scholarship

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"[Sir William Crookes] proved there are people living in the invisible part of the universe with repeatable experiments under laboratory conditions. As you have received money from the Perrott-Warrick fund to look into the subject it is essential you take part in experiments with a materialisation medium."

Letter from Michael Roll to Professor Brian Josephson (December 1, 2002): Scientific Proof and the Media

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"Whenever a scientist makes a public stand and links so-called paranormal phenomena with quantum mechanics, that is, hints that there may be a rational scientific explanation to account for any aspect of the "paranormal", it's as if a button is pushed on media computers and a list of names pop up of "experts" who will immediately be wheeled on to rubbish any scientist who dares to support Sir William Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge, the pioneers of radio, television and subatomic physics."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Charles Lowson (November 17, 2002): Only the Proof of Survival After Death is Censored, Evidence is Allowed Out

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"As biologists flatly refuse to recognise people in the invisible part of the universe, most of their conclusions are just as false as the base that the physicists have started from. Until they all do a complete u-turn orthodox scientific teaching is going in the same direction as the Church - nowhere."

Letter from Michael Roll to Rt. Rev'd Rowan Williams (October 22, 2002): Religious Killing

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"This scientific proof of survival brings into play the universal ethic "as you sow, so you will reap". All the religious killing will stop when the believers eventually find out they are personally responsible and liable for every thought and action during their short stay on Earth. Nobody is going to forgive what they have done. The ball is now in your court."

In his e-mail, Michael Roll quotes H L Mencken:
"The time must come inevitably when mankind shall surmount the imbecility of religion, as it has surmounted the imbecility of religion's ally, magic. It is impossible to imagine this world being really civilized so long as so much nonsense survives. In even its highest forms religion embraces concepts that run counter to all common sense. It can be defended only by making assumptions and adopting rules of logic that are never heard of in any other field of human thinking."

In his letter, Montague Keen writes:
"There is not the least reason why anyone attending or conducting spiritualist sittings for the purpose of receiving or imparting communications with the deceased should wish to submit themselves to objective scrutiny, especially when the history of such investigations has so many examples of hostility and ignorance on the part of investigators whose mind-sets are incompatible with the subject, the phenomena and the people under investigation."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Victor Zammit (May 1, 2002): The Vatican Takes Its Own Scientific Path

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"They date everything from 1543, Copernicus, the Roman Catholic priest who said the Earth goes round the Sun. They are of course very careful not to let the public know that Copernicus came across the work of the great Greek scientist Aristarchus 280 BC! The Vatican has now embraced Darwin hook, line and sinker. However, again they are very careful not to mention Alfred Russel Wallace who was the co-author of the Theory of Evolution. He has been written out of our Christian history books because he put forward the secular case for survival after death as a branch of physics - that we are dealing with natural forces in the universe.

All the time orthodox scientists have gone down the wrong path - the Big Bang and Einstein's Theory of Relativity they are no danger whatsoever to the power of the priests. It makes the priests the only alternative, they keep the mystery going and their lucrative monopoly on the vast life after death industry."

Letter from Thomas Jones to Ray Taylor (February 11, 2002): SPR Member Responds to Prof. Fontana

In his letter, Tom Jones writes:
"It is understandable then that Mr. Roll makes the remark that any connection between survival and physics "threatens the authority" of psychologists, and I am at a loss to understand why the professor labels this claim as "absurd". Perhaps it is due to Mr. Roll's unfortunate use of terms; he should have said, the connection between subatomic physics and survival, if real, contradicts the current paradigms upon which psychology is based, and the evidence in proof of a separate mind and brain shows the inadequacy of psychology as a true and convincing science regarding consciousness and its survival of death."
