- This is really funny in the conext of the great effort
- Bales has made in the past to deny his own bigotry. Here some
- unsophistocated oaf, who is up front with his own bigotry, goes
- and blows it for poor old Bob and says excatly what is at the
- crux of the whole debate, for Bales and every other Christian
- or Religionist Creationist sympathizer. At the crux of the
- whole affair is the circular argument that origins are supernatural
- because the creator is supernatural ( and we made him, naturally of
- course, to justify our own trancendant opinions).
