- Ha, and likewise double Ha! By this reasoning, since the ancient greeks had

- You ignore a fundamental principle of talk.origins science. If it isn't

- Yep, cold helium would. Doesn't have to be compressed either. Now about
- that heat...

- Point taken. As usual Ted, er, ah, I mean Warren has one or two small

- I have every expectation that you will do for the evidence for creation
- what you have done for the theory of creation.
