Agreed. That applies to just about all of us on the Reflector - PhD's
and non-PhD's alike. Presumably part of doing this "homework" is
reading the popular works of the experts (eg. Gould, Dawkins,
Goodwin, etc) and noting where they disagree with each other and their
"logical errors or inconsistencies".

Where did this "young-earth creationists" spring from? Since I was
the original object of this thread, do I need to point out (yet again)
that I am *not* a "young-earth creationist"? :-)
God bless.
