...RIGHT TO HIGHLIGHT the growing abyss between scholars who debunk miracles and the faithful who believe in them. Either the professors are way off base or the populace is totally deluded. There is a way to resolve this cultural schizophrenia, but it demands intellectual honesty. We must face the implications of paranormal research, the missing link in this debate. Paranormal data make it a lot easier to accept that Jesus and other spiritually advanced beings did things that exceed what science understands to be human capacity.

Could this fate befall James Cameron, Hollywood's most daring and extravagant auteur? Not bloody likely. An '80s-style artist-brigand, Cameron makes ripe allegories, often about the search for a redeemer, that are both personal and popular.

For "Reality Bites" drags itself out of the Gen X abyss with a time-honored formula: the elfishly pretty girl with the endearing range of fashion options gets to choose between two guys who are in love with her, while her much more interesting sidekick, spouting tart tittle one-liners about her job at the Gap, tabulates the number of men she's slept with in a little book that she keeps by her bed. Being the "main" character, as signalled by her creative, spunky...
