[] >Lew seemingly believes creationists to be inherently dishonest and also >seemed to spend almost as much time using the ad hominem in trying to >discredit creationists as he did responding to the substance of their >argument. Why should anyone believe creationists to be dishonest? Just because they try to pass off their religion as science, refuse to tell us what their theory is or give any evidence for it, and try to force our children to learn it? What's dishonest about that? >The age of the universe and the earth is one of the most hotly debated >issues in creationist circles. Yeah, that "scientific" debate has been going on for almost two thousand years. ` >The 10K age seems as based mostly on an interpretation of Genesis that >isn't necessarily sound. We must be sure to base our science on sound interpretations of the Bible. >Pardon me, my faith in science does waver at times. No comment. And about after death experiences: What does the existence or non-existence of the soul have to do with the current debate? -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!sa!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
