    I know I said I'd try to stay out of here, but I just couldn't resist
taking a few pot shots at Ron and Walt's latest piece of 'evidence' for
the scientific theory of creation.  Look at this garbage!

    Wow!  The 'scientific' model for creation says that the various coal
layers were put down after man had learned to work metal?  Howcome you never
told us about this before?  Did it all just fall from the sky one day, or
what?  Or did gawd create these artifacts in sutu?
    (SET SARCASM = OFF) Seriously, I didn't think that even the most rabid
bible pounder would consider this evidence for creation unless the 'scientific'
creation theory could explain these artifacts.  Now either I was wrong, or
there's a whole lot more details to your 'theory' that you've been keeping
secret from us.

  Net.origins - that's entertaaaaaaainment!
