Is he kidding? *WHO* agreed that religion should be left out of this discussion? The whole point of this discussion is whether religion should be taught as science in schools. If it were not for this very real threat, the oxymoron known as creationist science (or whatever they want to call it) would be worth a chuckle or two, and nothing more. How many creationists are there who are atheists? Or Hindus? Who do they think they're kidding? Why are religious people so comfortable lying through their teeth? -- 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
