He then wrote, recently, to another: "(For Phil to)
claim that rodents gave rise to whales and bats is displaying an equal
lack of education."
Glenn, I've been through all this a couple times. I CANNOT find out
where Phil makes any such claim.
He DOES cite such a claim by another person, making fun of it.
That claim by another person seems to be a little old -- but that does
not
blunt his argument. He could have picked a later claim, but his argument
would remain the same, I think.
In your note to me, posted here a couple weeks ago, you said, "Johnson
really thinks rodents gave rise to whales." The sections of Johnson's
book you cited CANNOT be taken as supporting that claim; rather, the
reverse.
You also gave me a citation from Whitcomb. I'm less acquainted with that
one, but it looks like the same argument applies.
BTW -- I enjoyed your PERSPECTIVES essay this quarter. I have a nit or
two to argue with it -- but I may let them pass. Your arguments are
persuasive. But not in the case of Johnson.
Best ...
Burgy
