Would Mr. Miller or somebody else please post the quotation from me that charges creationists with being racists? I have, of course, accused them (in various ways) of stupidity, fanatacism, fudging of evidence, truly horrible reasoning, and intellectual dishonesty. But racism? Where, Mr. Miller, did you ever get that idea? Phil Polli {ihnp4!}ihuxl!pvp

Courtesy demands that I break my (self imposed) limit of one article/week to net.origins. The other day, I wrote: > ... I was answering a charge by Phil Polli that creationists are racists ... To which he replied: >Would Mr. Miller or somebody else please post the quotation from me that >charges creationists with being racists? Well, the quotation was: >A God of ignorance, a God of hate, a God of Holy War, a bigoted God, who won't >let any but those of his own "color" survive. Remember, the NAZIs had this >God on their side. Unfortunately, it was Chuck Jones and not Phil Polli who made this statement. I got the reference correct in my original article, but did the second one from memory. Phil has my public appology on the net as of right now. A. Ray Miller Univ Illinois
