    No, Allen. I could comment on much of what you
    said but, rather, I just take it in as
    information. What you said was basically your
    opinion and I respect that. I don't believe it to
    be true but what is the sense of objecting?

    The ones I spoke below are about facts, not
    opinion. I could elaborate more and say that I
    think Morris is a flat outright farce and anyone
    who accepts his statements has no understanding of
    basic physics whatsoever. I think that is probably
    true of many at ICR. I agree with with Burgy's
    line characterization as "Liars for Jesus"

    In any consistent theory, there must
exist true but not provable statements.
(Godel's Theorem)

    You can only find the truth with logic
If you have already found the truth
without it. (G.K. Chesterton)
