Janet:
<< Neither. I have a B.S. in electrical engineering. However, I have studied the Great Flood problem (my main interest) for many years so I am not entirely ignorant of uniformitarian theory. In regard to the
obvious lack of sympathy displayed by the geologists who have spoken so far, one has to understand that they have a vested interest in the status quo.>>

Ah the cry of the pseudo-scientist who confuses opposition with 'vested interests' rather than a just criticism of the hypotheses.

Janet: << Their clain to expertise is at stake so they are more interested in preserving that than letting truth prevail. I, too, would like to hear from others with more expertise than I--in physics especially, but I am particularly anxious to hear from someone who can discuss the problem soberly, addressing the evidence forthrightly and not gallery.>>
