I'm curious, what do the creationists think about Baby Fae, the human
baby that recently had a heart transplant from an ape? I would think
that most creationists would object to this sort of thing, though some
might feel the topic totally unrelated to their creationist beliefs.
Anyone venture a comment?

I read in the LA Times that a representative of the 7th-day Adventists, avowedly a pro-creationism sect, said that he had no problem with the Baby Fae transplant with respect to the creationism issue. Presumably the interchangability of parts can be taken just as easily as evidence of the same creator of both species. Mike

Unless they do, you're putting words in their mouths. I can say "presumably evolutionists believe X" but unless *they* say they believe X, my statement is not very useful. -- Paul DuBois {allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!dubois

I didn't say "presumably, these people believe X". I said, "presumably, someone can interpret Y as Z." Who's putting words in whose mouth? Mike
