Dear David,
Sometime ago Gish & C0. came to Wilmington, NC and presented their program.
I went to some of the lectures and I did get the feeling that they were
somewhat ridiculing scientists. Of course, they themselves have received
scientific degrees??? But they did raise some questions that ought to be
discussed as purely scientific issues--the fossil record, etc. I was
interviewed by our local newspaper--I am known in town as the professor who
has an opposing view which I indicated as a differing view to the reporter
and not to characterize it as an opposing views. My point was mainly that
the issue of origins gives rise to many theological/philosophical questions
that must be openly discussed.
Take care,
Moorad
