Optical Astronomy Observatories Tucson AZ USA Lines: 17 There is no such thing as SCIENTIFIC creationism. If you would care to state your exact meaning, and your evidences, and your conception of the meaning of the word "scientific", perhaps we could have more of a debate than this useless "yes there is", "no there isn't", rather Monty Python "argument". For all versions of creationism that I have seen (and, yes, I do try to study the opposition), we would have to discard not only modern biology but all of physics, astronomy and geology. We *might* get chemistry, meteorology, and one or two others to survive. If all you mean is the inarguable "it was all created recently to *look* as though it's old" philosophy, then forget it. My God is not that malicious. -- Nigel Sharp National Optical Astronomy Observatories Tucson, Arizona (602) 325-9273 UUCP: {akgua,allegra,arizona,decvax,hao,ihnp4,lbl-csam,seismo}!noao!sharp ARPA: noao!sharp@lbl-csam.arpa
