    That is correct. There is an old saying: fool me once shame on you, fool me
    twice shame on me! I prefer not to have shame on me!

    No, Allen, I didn't check the sources because I didn't read any of those
    things. One of the nice things I have done for my self is to almost
    completely withdraw from the debate about evolution and creation. But when I
    get my pictures from the Orkney Islands developed, I may ask you a question
    about what I saw, geologically up there.

    If anyone hasn't been to the Orkneys, they are a wonderful place with lots
    of geology, wildlife, archaological sites and historical sites. But expect
    to do a lot of hiking if you want to see all the places.
