Being that I live close to Glen Rose, I too am constantly bombarded with
opportunities to express my opinion about various popular speakers with
amazing and wonderful ideas about how everything happened. I have learned
over the years to be very positive in what I say, and to look for good in
others, even when I couldn't buy a word of what they had to say. I firmly
believe that these populizers of creationism are unconsciously the worst
enemies creationists have. But somehow I want to kill them with love.
