Both groups tend heavily towards "religious" discussions (quick definition -- any discussion where both sides are talking and neither side is listening). In both groups, there seems to be little attempt to share facts but a lot of work to convince the heathens (definition -- anyone who disagrees with you) regardless of the "facts". net.sci.origins is a very bad name. net.religion.origins would be better, since its main purpose seems to be to allow the creationists a place to attempt to convince otherwise sane people that scientific fact that happens to disagree with the Bible is wrong... chuq -- Chuq Von Rospach nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA {decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4}!nsc!chuqui Son, you're mixing ponderables again
