Jeffrey... this is a most intelligent rebuttal against "Owens just used precog" from a learned man. Thought Bernstein might want it. Ted

(The following is copied from page 84 of March 1971 Saga magazine article written by Otto Binder, entitled "Ted Owens - Flying Saucer Missionary." This is Binder's argument...against my critics who say that I have no powers and cannot communicate with UFOs...that I am merely talented at the use of precognitive ability. Owens.)

..."It is quite impressive to look over Ted's list of "PK feats accomplished" and see that many are marked as occurring in "three days," "five days," or "nine days." Some are even overnight, while others take a month or more. But the numerous close-hitting cases compel one to seek a paranormal rather than a "chance" or a "luck" explanation.

"One question remains. Is Ted unwittingly using pure precognition and only that? That is, does he have the power (miraculous in itself) to peer into the future and see coming events that turn out true 85% of the time? The SIs and his contact with them could then be sheer mental "window dressing" out of his subconscious mind, as it delves with uncanny accuracy into the future. This would mean too that all his so-called powers are imaginary -- that he does not control or make hurricanes, and has never spoiled a space shot with a PK shot.

"He would, in short, be foreseeing those events by his purely prophetic powers, and nothing more, with his subconscious imagination supplying the rest. But, because of his overwhelming list of "hits," that would still make him the greatest seer of all time, far above Jeanne Dixon or any others today, and even dwarfing the feats of the biblical prophets or the Oracle of Delphi.

"Explaining a fantastic phenomenon by one even more fantastic, is hardly a rational way of solving a riddle.

"Dr. Rhine would be the first to snort at this explanation, for his precognition experiments with ESP cards have revealed no such enormous prophetic powers in the human mind or psyche. Thus, with the precognitive theory, there is nothing to explain why Ted Owens should alone be able to read the future like a book -- unless God himself has lent him divine powers.

"The other explanation gives us something more rational as a method -- that other-dimension beings with their super-science have given Ted PK powers to perform feats he merely announces in advance.

"And one other strong point backs up Ted's SI-contact claims. There are flying saucers seen all around earth (unless you are a last-ditch skeptic). If the UFOs exist, then the people who fly them exist. Certainly they cannot be ordinary humans but must be far beyond us in intellectual power.

"Thus, there is no great assumption to make as to the very probable existence of the SIs that Ted claims to talk to. Nor does his contact by ESP -- now a well-established phenomenon -- in any way stretch the imagination.

"The pure-precognition theory is barely possible while the SI-contact explanation is more highly probable..."

(Note: Otto Binder was co-author of the book, "Mankind - Child of the Stars," with Max Flindt (a Fawcett Gold Medal Book). The foreword of the book was done by Erich von Daniken, author of "Chariots of the Gods." In the foreword, von Daniken states, of Otto's book..."I know of no work since Darwin that deserves as much attention with regard to the evolution of man."

Otto Binder was a noted author - and his thinking was highly regarded by many experts in the field of the paranormal, and UFOs. This should be kept in mind while reading the afore-mentioned material. Owens.)
