I absolutely agree with Bill here about my good friend, Art. Art is smart
and very honest. He is unafraid to say that he has no explanation or that a
given thing is a problem for his view [of course I get to whap him when he
does :-) ]. My difference with Art largely resolves itself into
patience--Art has more patience than I. He is willing to wait for solutions
to all the things he can't explain with a global flood. I am not. Thus I
wanted to look elsewhere for the flood and developed a view that I think
does indeed answer more things than I was able to answer with my former views.
