sorry about the previous post. I have learned
that my email package does not reply easily
to messages that come as TXT.

I had two points

First: Randy gave a rather lengthy list of "Creationist Scientists".
Included in the list was Gregor Mendel. This implies that Mendel had views
that would be consistent with Morris, Gish et al. If true, I was unaware of
it. In fact, I was not aware that Mendel had ever expressed any views that
would label him as a "creationist" or as an "evolutionist". Does somebody
have writings of Mendel that would clearly identify him in any such group??


Second: I am rapidly tiring of Steve and Randy yelling at each other. They
certainly are not communicating. I have come to rather like both of them
through both public and private posts we have shared. However, it seems to
me that Steve needs to become less impressed with the Ph.D. that should be
attached to his name soon and Randy needs to be less dogmatic about his
interpretations of the scriptures. To say that I disagree with his
interpretation of the Flood or other aspects of Genesis is *not* to say that
I fail to find the Bible to be completely accurate and trustworthy.
