The following appeared in the Letters to the Editor page
of the New York Daily News on Sat. Nov 22, 1986. The
appropriateness of this newsgroup will become apparent
only at the end of the letter:
Science Lesson
Bronx: About Cal Thomas' col-
umn "Let's teach both fact and
fiction" on creationism and
evolution: He subtly implies
that it is evolution that is the
fiction. Evolution is incon-
trovertible fact. It is only the
explanations of it mechanisms
that are theories. He is wrong in
saying that the court of public
opinion should decide which is
right. In science, there is only
one standard: the weight of the
evidence. And although the evi-
dence is incomplete regarding
evolution, it completely rules
out a creationist scenario.

As this posting is pure self-aggrandizement, no followups would be
appropriate.
