Without trying to denigrate Stephen's frustrations, he has the wrong dept. in<BR>
mind--biology is the proper field in question, although creationists of course<BR>
attack all science. (However, if the c's Ph.D. were in cosmology, it would also<BR>
be appropriate, given the cosmic microwave background's demonstration that<BR>
the universe is 13.77 billion years old, NOT 6000. Or put more succinctly, "If<BR>
the CMB is not the afterglow of 'Let there be light!', then I don't know what<BR>
the hell could be!!")<BR>
