- Kalki, I already poked a fatal hole in Thompson's argument. There is no no
- descent model of abiogenisis and YOU ACCEPTED THAT PROPOSITION. This means
- that the very first term in Thompsons computations is invalid. You also didn't
- (as far as I can tell) ever refute the notion that the computational power of
- evolution is not currently understood well enough to do probability estimates.
- Thus the middle of Thomsons proof is garbage until shown innocent. The proof
- is dead wrong _even if_ its conclusions are correct.

- NO, NO, NO, NO. It is _already_ known to be garbage and you have admitted
- that. That leaves no reason to post it. Goddamn it why can't creationists
- manage to show one shred of intellectual honesty? Why can't they see that
- acting like lying scum destroys their credibility. Ptough! Yuck-o.
