The guilty parties still stubbornly cling to their hypothesis that
they found modern pollen within Precambrian shales. I wrote a little
about it at:
http://home.earthlink.net/~schimmrich/essays/hakatai.html
The reason I've generally stayed away from arguing against the YEC
viewpoint on this forum (Evolution) is because it's been my experience
that their views are never critically examined, even when confronted with
very strong evidence to the contrary and even when it's documented that
some of them are misrepresenting evidence. It's a complete waste of time.
