This is the third of four articles posted for Ray Miller. ----- /* Written 10:40 pm Apr 2, 1985 by miller@uiucdcsb in uiucdcsb:net.origins */ I am amazed, simply amazed, that anyone, including Rich Rosen, would take the base note seriously. ICR is not now, and never has been, on the net. Rich should know how easy it is to create a signon of Duane at cadovax or any other site. Furthermore, no one would believe that Dr. Gish would word a note in that manner, except of course, evolutionists who *really believe* the straw man of creationists that they have created. No wonder evolutionists can't under- stand us. They can't separate our writings from their own propaganda! A. Ray Miller Univ Illinois /* End of text from uiucdcsb:net.origins */

No wonder evolutionists can't under- >stand us. They can't separate our writings from their own propaganda! I took that article seriously for two days, until I noticed the date. I have a good excuse for having been fooled. In early March our local paper published an article written by a local creationist (and a university professor) fully as bone-headed as "Gish's" article. Not being familiar with Gish's writing, I have no way of knowing whether that prank article was in his style or not. And, on the grounds of the above evidence, an education is no guarantee that a man is not a fool. Some creationist arguments are straw men already, even before anybody has had a chance to distort them. -- David Canzi
