First of all, thanks for responding. Most people don't (because I like to be REAL nasty as an opener).

I get especially hostile with evolutionists, because, generally, they are (1) supporters of public education, (2) Democrats, (3) supporters  of the Kyoto Lie (using poverty to stop global warming), and (4) believe the myth that "separation of church and state" is part of the  Constitution.

1. I wish I had a transcription of J. McCormack's letter. I will dig  through the recycle bin and see if it's still there.

>I neither work for public education, or support socialism.

2. Cool. I have much more respect for you.

Statistics (M.S.) - we got a lot of data sets to work with - two were  ancient dating numbers. No, I am neither a chemist nor a physicist;  however, I have met a number of PhD's in both of these fields who do  not believe in any type of dating past 5000 years. (Many others do -  but it's not law.)

I was always interested in dinosaurs as a kid. So, while in college, I took "physical anthropology" as a GE elective. (Anything to avoid sociology - the ultimate idiot field outside of art.) It was  interesting, but until links are found between one "cave" man and the  next (which won't happen because there aren't any), the whole thing  (about man evolving) is nothing but a myth.

A friend (who is not so much a Creationist as he is an anti-evolutionist) has a very interesting book linking scientific  "evidence," as well as its flaws, with Genesis. I only had a chance to  read parts of it (albeit about 75%, but I took no notes). (When I had  it, I was running around all over French Canada.) Anyway, one of the  things it talked about was pressure put on the earth to make it crack  - causing the Ring of Fire (the Pacific Rim) (as spheres crack in an  open-circle shape when put under pressure). It relates this to the
passage, "and the world that once was was no more." I will obtain  either the book or the title and author and send 'em to you.

Evolution is no more than a neat story - something that you could  easily say about the above-mentioned book. It can NEVER be PROVEN. If  people choose to believe it, fine; I respect that. But others should  have the same right - be it in public schools or whatever - to tell  their stories, be it as a(ny) religious group believes, or another  theory from a secular perspective. It should take about three weeks -  not a semester - to teach a course in evolution. If it takes more than  a month, that demonstrates just how slow things have gotten.

Party on.
