Others on ASA thought me to be strange because of my simplistic theory of
thinking that God could make more than one universe:
But this flies as science in a Christian context??

To which I ask:
Which apologists have "ignored" this "data"? When was it published and has any
"apologist" refuted the "data"?
I've never heard of this before and I'm not sure that red headed neanderthals
mean anything more than other established genes.
Is this "data", a "theory", or a "fact"?
Is this email a preemptive criticism of potential ignoring by "apologists" ---
or has it already been observed?
Finally is the premise really a logical extrapolation of the "data"?
Is it not possible that the author should consider himself to be an "apologist"
for his area of his (clearly limited) science specialty and his own published
pet theory -- (which is not universally accepted insofar as I know)?
But, I could well be wrong (as I often am) -- as a newcomer to this list.
Apologies to Glenn in advance, should he think me to be unkind to his email and
his published theory.
