Sorry to disappoint Huxter but I will continue to post what *I* think is
interesting in the creation/evolution - ID/Darwinism debate, whether
Huxter likes it or not!
Most " snippets of books" that I post, I do have the books. But in the case

because they customise their web pages based on their profile of the
customer. It would be interesting to hear what sales rank it displays for
non-IDers.
