    I directed my remarks against ICR. You direct
    yours against YECs. I know what you mean, but what
    you say and what you mean are two different
    things. This is the point I attempt to make.

    I know many people who would be considered to be
    YECs and very few are members of ICR or in tune
    with their scientific theories (see George's 3
    categories of YEC). I respect the YEC oriented
    people in my Church. I want to help them to see a
    better "world view". That is why I worked so hard
    to get ASA listed as a link on the Church's web
    site. By leading my friends to that link, I hope
    that they will a different story that some of the
    trash put out by ICR, etc. This is just a small
    (one church) effort, but if others did so as well,
    perhaps the impact could spread.

    At the same time, I think that any members of ICR
    who really have degrees in science should have
    them revoked. Yes I am harsh on them and I include
    my former acquaintance Sebeny who obvious spent
    too much time in the Arizona sun without his
    famous cowboy hat on. (no grin)
