So why is it that you don't find out what scientists have to say on this, instead of using it to make a moronic, anti-scientific and utterly worthless point? Do you enjoy proving to the Usenet community that you are an ignoramus and an ass? Having said this, the answer briefly is that the nucleus is held together by forces you are convieniently ignoring, and the electron does not collapse for quantum mechanical reasons. Calculate its wavelength, or think about the implications of the Heisenberg principle. >It appears to me that the scientific community as a whole can't get their >stories straight. It appears to me you are either pulling our collective leg, or you are such a nit-wit you should be ashamed to post at all. >This would lead me to suspect any conclusions reached by any scientific >research, especially concerning evolution. Who cares *what* you think? Your opinions on ANYTHING, including the chances of the 'Niners getting in the superbowl, are probably utterly worthless; and in any case, are irrelevent unless backed up by knowledge of your subject matter and a modicum of intelligence. >You want facts about creationism? Read the Bible (past genesis, too) You are the best evidence I've seen lately that we *must* be related to the apes, Bonzo-brain. Go have a banana and let us humans duke it out. ucbvax!garnet!gsmith Gene Ward Smith/Brahmsgangster/Berkeley CA 94720 "Your notation sucks!" Serge Lang
