Re: [asa] Empiricism, Faith and Science

Hi Vern,

This is just a short hit-and-run comment as per my typical posting style.

Two points: 1) Do you believe you're the inspired arbiter of this most
wonderous gematric find (or as I like to refer to it "bibliomancy")? 2)
This is an issue I don't recall being brought up before, but how does your
putatively inspired bibliomancy in any way imply the egregious abortion of
empiricism that's the modern YEC movement? You might want to flesh out
the connection.

Point 2 is more interesting to me than point 1, since the latter is
intuitively obvious.
