[net.origins] To Paul DuBois

Open letter to Paul DuBois

Once again the issue of what Scientific Creationism is has arisen.
In a recent, very long, posting you admitted that you have been
challenged "often" to state your position, and have failed to
do so.  You neglected to state - perhaps you forgot - that you
promised to make such a statement.  In the past several months
you have said that such a statement was not posted because of
time constraints.

Since you have time enough to post well-researched articles rebutting
the views of scientists, you should also have the time to tell
us just what it is that you beleive.  

Since you are the only creationist I have read who displays even
a shred of intelligence, integrity, and ability to reason (and,
in my opinion, you show a quite a bit of these), I am eager to
read what it is that you feel you can defend.

Please, Paul, let us know what it is that you beleive.  You did
promise.

I agree with this. Because of Paul's  very articulate  and considered
reasonings I would also welcome such a statement.
