Jim,

Just a quick, =
am-I-out-of-my-mind-I-have-a-start-up-business-to-run-with-no-time-for-th=
is comment:

I think Howard's point is that the distinctions he made in his initial =
post are legitimate -regardless- of one's assumptions on the issues you =
brought up, and so he does -not-, in offering this discussion framework, =
build in the assumption(s) you suggested.

His framework formally clarifies matters (I found it very helpful, =
anyway), but does not substantially decide them. An evolutionary =
creationist, a progressive creationist, a YEC, etc. could all live =
within the discussion framework, just taking different positions on the =
items within it. =20

You have proceeded to depict just such substantial differences with him, =
which is great. But you also claimed that the framework itself begs the =
question in favor of evolutionary creationism, which claim Howard =
rightly rejected.
