for June 1999:
"If evolution were a true and acqurate account of life
evolving from an ape then why to this day do we still
have the dam things. Get a life people. God created
this world.
Very sadened viewer."
Looks like the Hams and Morrises of this world have not
increased scientific competence terribly much among their

scientific understanding of those skeptics who bother to
critically evaluate the claims of the ICR.
