Fw: How Did Gentry Get Published in PSCF?

 This must be some of the worst biblical interpretation I have seen for a
long time. What beats me is that the editors of PSCF actually passed it for
publication. They should be ashamed of themselves. What fun Scientific
American would have with it and other "secular spies" who oppose YEC root
and branch. It makes the ASA and all evangelical scientists a laughing
stock.

I would suggest that Gentry has grossly misused scripture and brought God's
Word into disrepute. I cannot really express my disgust and concern

P.S. I think there is a place for weakish articles in PSCF and SCB for young
writers to encourage them for the future.
