I'd like to compliment Larry Bickford on having collected together such a
large body of evolutionist statements and attempting to answer them all.

Unfortunately, his response has no focus; one can't answer any significant
part of it without painfully (and unreadably) picking it to pieces.  Worse
yet, a large number of his responses (I didn't chase all of the preceding
articles) fall into two categories:
	- he took the statement of the referenced article out of context,
	  substantially distorting its content
	- he simply restated the earlier creationist misunderstanding--i.e.,
	  one can't tell that he read the substantive part of the
	  evolutionist position.
I'm slightly peeved at the creationists' reliance on creative arguing
techniques; qubix!lab is hardly the only one.
