Hi Susan,
I'm not sure there is such a thing as a debate with a Darwinist. Steve seems
to manage without descending to your level, but I don't see the purpose of
any discussion with someone who calls people with whom they disagree liars.
I learn of interesting articles on the list, and occasionally I think of a
point I want to make. Actually, I thoroughly enjoy posts such as your above.
It gives a clear picture of the caliber of the opposition.
