- This is one of the few sensible postings I've seen in this
- extraordinarily silly (even by sci.skeptic standards) thread (even if I
- do think humans are a bit more of a mixed lot than Mr. Berryhill seems
- to). I don't know which I find more discouraging, the level of hatred in
- the discussion (mostly on the anti-Christian side) or the number of
- factual errors and bad arguments (pretty evenly split between the two).
- Oh well, happy new year to all concerned.
