Well I guess that raising your hand and swearing that you will never use
this example again does not mean much to John. I always thought that your
yes meant yes and that your no meant no, but it seems that John had another
meaning when he said he would not use this example again.
I will say it for the record. I believe that some YEC's knowingly lie about
the data and purposely misuse it to their advantage. John Morris lied to my
face. I need no other example of the abuse of science by a YEC.
