- You know Kalki, your posts have to be among the most content
- free of any poster I have seen. Please halt your endless quoting
- of peoples comments, if all you are going to do is tack a one

- Once again in your postings we see the "creation scientist's dilemma".
- You display a mistrust (bordering on hatred) of scientists, but
- to effectively argue, you must employ the scientists method or
- fail utterly. So many of the arguments presented by creationists
- appeal to our "intuitive" sense. "It seems obvious that...."
- "It is extremely unlikely that...." But scientists recognize that
- often our intuition is simply incorrect, that we need to look at
- the world around us with better eyes.
-
- Your attempts to use things like information theory or thermodynamics
- are just cheap ploys, easily recognized as nonsense by anyone with
- a smattering of knowledge. Similar arguments have been shot down
- so many times in this news group alone, that you would think that
- creationists would be forced to try something new, if only for
- variety.
-
- As for not being willing to buy a book, why should I support an
- author who writes nonsense in the guise of science? I support
- science, not pseudo-scientific gobblety-gook.

- Hey, guess what! SCIENTISTS discovered that it WASN'T SO!
