I have difficulty understanding quantum physics, should I therefor reject it it? If creationists ever did *real* origunal research there might not be any problem with it, but as has been pointed out all they do is rehash old argument *against* evolution.

THIS is where the danger to science, and perhaps Israeli defense comes in, the habit of *not* thinking, just accepting old answers. -- Sarima (Stanley Friesen) {trwrb|allegra|cbosgd|hplabs|ihnp4|aero!uscvax!akgua}!sdcrdcf!psivax!friesen or quad1!psivax!friesen
