Stephen has several times referred to these mysterious uncommitted lurkers.
I rather doubt whether they exist, but I would be interested to know if they
do. It would give some purpose to the debate here. Without an uncommitted
audience the debate is futile, as creationists/IDers are not open to
rational argument, and evolutionists are not going to be influenced by the
irrational arguments of the creationists/IDers.
So, all you uncommitted lurkers out there, if you exist, please speak up and
make yourselves known.
