::: I'm not able to say what public opinion is. I can say that of the thousands of Scientologists and many staff members I have talked with, we have never thought of talking about that. And, I can say that I have never met that "teaching" in any Scientology Church or Mission I have entered. And I can safely say that it is not present in any of the published (to the public) works I own. (I searched) And I own about 95 % of the millions of words the Church has published. But, online, everyone screams bloody murder about it. While, in real life, no scientologist has heard about it. When did that myth supposedly happen? 75 years ago? 75 hundred thousand years ago? 75 '''MILLION''' years ago? [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 04:59, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

::::Its undeniably part of the church's doctrine, the church has said so in various lawsuits. It maybe not an important part anymore but it is certainly linked very closely in the public's mind with Scientology. Have you ever hung around one of Scientology's recruiting tents at a college university? About 1/5 of the people that show up for their "free stress test" will make a snickering remark about Xenu. Its often yelled out by passing pedestrians. I have seen this phenomenon in multiple locations. So I think it meets any criteria we can set for inclusion in the article.
