While the reflector would no doubt lose much of its entertainment value if
all anti-evolutionists withdrew, it would lose little in the way of rational
discourse.

(It's rather parochial of Stephen to believe otherwise.) I'm currently
awaiting a reply from Terry Gray to a question of mine.... (hint) ;-)
