Mr. Hammond,

I understand the hurdles you face. As for getting the images and
drawings you need you could:

1) Search in Internet for uncopyrighted images. For example,
I found this for Sistine Chapel:

http://sun.science.wayne.edu/~mcogan/Humanities/Sistine/index.html

This link contains several images, including individual panels,
all of good quality. There is no copyright notices on these pages,
so by default they are public domain. No contact info is given, but
judging from the link it appears to have been done by a student.
I suggest you download all these images and store them for future
use.

[Hammond]
Wow... that alone is almost enough to encourage me to go forward.
I imagine I can find pictures of St. Peter's (inside and out) that may be
public domain, pix of Pharoah Akhenaten (statues), pix of the opening of
the Red Sea, pix of Jesus walking on water, pix of St. Augustine,
Aquinas, Newton, Leibnitz, Pascal ... blah, blah, blah that are all in
the public domain!
I even have some private photos of me taken with the late great
Prof. Hans Eysenck.

Some publisher's will allow you to use an image or drawing without cost
as long as you credit the source, publisher, book title and author.
You've seen the "courtesy of..." in some books. Give credit to the
source in your text as well under the image or drawing.

[Hammond]
Yes, I'm aware of that since I got half a dozen permissions to reprint
illustrations in my journal papers... however, journal papers are
"non-commercial".... books are a different story... they are less
likely to give away freebies for a commercial book... but doubtlessly
there are numerous exceptions.

2) The drawings you need will probably be harder to find, especially
those unique to your theory. The drawings on your website do look a
little crude, but I think they will do OK as is (I've seen a lot worse
in published books; readers are generally forgiving of authors who make
no claim to being an artist). Or your editor at a publisher can have
the art department redraw them if the powers that be allow the funding
to do this.

[Hammond]
Line drawings I don't think are a great problem...
computer graphics have come a long way in the past few
years... that will help.... and I will have to draw the rest myself..
I'm getting better at it.

One of the things I've learn about traditional publishing is that
even if they buy your book, this doesn't mean they will promote it.
It will be an editor that decides to purchase rights to your book,
but they are still at the mercy of the big guys upstairs.

[Hammond]
I've pretty much given up on the idea of handing any "rights"
to my life's work over to anyone... including publishers.
I think I'd go with the new "print on demand" technology...
( IUniverse Inc. for instance) this is very low cost.. and entirely
effective. By now they probably can do color printing too... but
even if I did have to forego color, I still could make it in B&W!
This is basically a photo-copy process by a gigantic Xerox machine
that is driven by the book's computer file (no originals)... and it
can spit out 1 or a thousand copies simply by pushing a button.
It includes 3-4 color glossy paperback cover, Perfect binding,
and trimming.... no problem.... and they will even "drop ship" orders
to any bookstore or other outlet. Of course the book will be listed
on every bookstore computer automatically.
With "print on demand" there is no "assignment of rights"..
I retain all rights and copyrights. There is no "up front cost"
for printing... only a few measly C-notes for the computer file
set up charge. No storage problem, and of course production is
totally unlimited... and there are no "returns" (unsold books)
to deal with.

Another thing you could consider is getting a good literary agent.

[Hammond]
Naw.... I've been all through this before... nobodies worth the money
they expect... and they're more trouble than they're worth. I'm a
polymathic genius among other things... there's nothing involved that
I can't handle myself. I'm already a registered publisher (Hammond
Psychology Publishing (SAN 664-6492), and I've published one book,
ORIGIN OF THE CROSS (ISBN 0-940915-02-2), 1987 (limited edition,
of only 500 copies).
And, I've already taken out a copyright for the SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF
GOD, and even registered the ISBN number for it: (0-940-915-09-X).
Now all I have to do is publish... using a print on demand printer,
and release it!

"A Scientific Proof of God" is such an attractive title, that once
you have the book done, finding an agency should be relatively easy.
Do not approach an agency until you have the book written.

[Hammond]
Truth is I've got it half written already... all the hard stuff...
all the facts and logic... I just need to polish up the style...
I could publish it in 6-8 months if I wanted to.

And approach only one agency at a time. If you get a nay, then
approach another. The same is true if you decide to go directly to
publishers. You will get a bad name if you make multiple simultaneous
submissions. In fact most will reject you if they find you have done
this. It might take a year or more for an agent to find a publisher
for you, or the same if you chose the direct route. But that's the
nature of the business. Considering the subject matter, I expect
the time would be less.

[Hammond]
Naw.... I don't need the aggrevation.... I'll publish it myself....
"print on demand" has ELIMINATED the big capital outlay publishers
used to need to produce a book.... now anybody can do it.... the
only real problem is writing a book that someone wants to READ!

To get your book up to a length sufficient to be published, and since
you will be aiming at the lay public, I suggest you include primers
on the "secular trend" and other subjects that you use to support
your theory. Once you get the reader educated in this area, then they
will have the background to understand SPOG.

[Hammond]
Right.... my experience on the internet has given a LOT of experience
in talking to the "lay public" and there has been a lot of development of
this new material in the past 5 years.... I'm ready to wite the book...
no doubt about it.

I don't know if your theory is correct or not,

[Hammond]
I do........ it IS CORRECT. Fact is, discovering the scientific
proof of God is only half the problem.... getting anyone's attention
is the other half of the problem.... and that's actually the hard part!

but I think the lay public deserves to know of your theory so
they can make up their own minds. The lay public doesn't read the
journals where you have been published. To reach them, you have to
publish a book aimed at them. I urge you to give it a try.

[Hammond]
I agree... and I'm committed to that belief.... that the "world has
a right to know".
It's going to be an enormous strain doing it... and it'll take me
awhile to resign myself to the necessity of it..... but, it looks now like
it's inevitable.

Best wishes,

// Xxxx

[Hammond]
My highest regards to you Xxxx, and thanks for that tip about public
domain material off the Internet.... that may be enough to
get me started.
Keep in touch.... if you have any further comments don't hesitate
to drop me an email........ now or any other time!

< snip mindless prattle >

From AntiSPOG:
"In my evaluation of Hammond's "Introduction to SPoG" I checked 180
claims Hammond has made. 11 (eleven) of these 180 claims can be seen as
true. Most of the agreed statements are trivial like "Today the world
faces enormous crises in population, oil resources, terrorism and Third
World poverty.". This statement alone includes four of the eleven agreed
claims.

A thesis based on 11 true and 169 false claims must be discarded as
inadequately thought-out. Scientific work published in the internet
should be based on traceable thoughts and backed up with references
which are accessible for everyone - e.g. by quoting passages out of a
book or adding links to other websites. This isn't the case in Hammond's
work. Mentioning names of (questionable) "authorities" doesn't make a
claim true, it only might be used to back up the own position. If a
thesis is based on the work of other scientists, a detailed description
should be added to see what they've contributed to the new thesis. If -
like Hammond says - statistical data of other scientists are involved,
it is a usual thing to add a link to these data or to give detailed
information where they were published.

Hammond's SPoG in the given form is the mediocre work of an amateur. It
lacks of logic and often contradicts itself. It claims to be
"scientific", but it doesn't show any example of scientific experiments
to back it up nor does it follow basic scientific rules. The best
example surely is Hammond's attempt to assign his virtual "psychometric
space" to real space. This attempt alone disqualifies Hammond as an
incompetent amateur who never has understood anything regarding real
sciences. If I - as an autodidactic amateur - can see these flaws,
errors and misinterpretations, then I ask myself why Hammond expects
that professional scientists should consider to agree with something
like his SPoG.

In the end, Hammond neither will win the hearts of true Christians nor
will he convince the reason of scientists. It took me two weeks to
gather all the information to disprove SPoG, a professional scientist
could do the same in less than two minutes... "

Monkey with a keyboard idiot troll Jay Stevens. Send complaints plus
attach abusive posts to his ISP.

Jay Stevens is not merely an offensive laughingstock, he has been a
stinking ulcerous rotting Usenet wound for more than a decade. 13,900
posts on the subject and every one of them labels Jay Stevens as a
loathsome a*****le. Put a plug in it. Forward each of his posts to
his ISP with a complaint.

Still the lying coward, Stevens? Still fancy yourself an East Indian,
Stevens? Your "doctorate" came from a diploma mill - and you were
overcharged. Hey stoooopid, why do you troll your own idiot
newsgroup? There is nothing about you except stooopidity, lies, and
hate.
