How long, Glenn? Until the data reaches a conclusory peak. That's how science
works, and you know it. You find overwhelming data in the rocks about an old
earth. I agree. I'm not "waiting" on that one, though I remain open to
evidence to the contrary. I'm an open minded kind of guy.

But the theory of evolution is nowhere near the rocks in the data game. Good
scientists will adopt "wait and see." True believers will ignore the problems,
wave a magic wand (e.g., "imagined selective advantage") when the promlems
intensify, and stomp around trying to get everyone else to agree. The heaviest
stompers, like Dawkins, are beginning to look a little silly.

You don't want to look silly, do you?

Did you know that the heaviest beer consumption, per capita, is in Texas?
