Actually that's not true, some have pointed heads. >Now for the part you alt.flamers have been waiting for! It should be clear >that my presentation of platygaeanism is *much* more cogent and intelligent >than anything creationists or astrologers have been able to come up with. >DO NOT LUMP PLATYGAEANISM IN WITH ASTROLOGY OR CREATIONISM. IT MAKES MUCH >MORE SENSE. Thanx At least 10 times as much sense. Of course, 10 * 0 = 0. You remind me of an Arts major at school who tried to convice me that classical Newtonian mechanics was no longer valid because it had been superceded by Special Relativity. My reply was that he better be careful the next time he drove his car; the engineers who designed it didn't make any relativistic corrections in their calculations. There is one difference between his ideas and yours; he was technically correct. --- Dan Tilque dant@tekla.tek.com or dant@tekla.UUCP P.S. Be careful on your next plane trip; the navigator is probably a round-earther and you'll probably land in Poughkeepsie instead of Pocatello.
