RE: RATE Vol. II

Hi Jack:
 
Could we put this proposed project on for a meeting at the upcoming ASA
conference this summer? I think a low-cost magazine style presentation
(not a book) with a call for contributions from members and beyond
perhaps including articles from our own archives would be extremely
useful. I'll put in the first order for 100 copies. Is there still
space at the conference for some time to devote to that?
 
"God Did It But When?" is a lot easier to answer than "God Did It But
How?" (What made us think we knew how anyway?)

Greetings:
 
I hate to see this discussion come to an end without any "action items."
 
First: an update. The /Knowing Creation/ project (dealing with the age
of the earth) has more or less come to a stand-still - for a variety of
reasons. So the deck is clear.
 
We are good at analysis, breast beating and expressions of need but
'where's the beef?' and what should it look like?
 
Note: /PSCF /has a statement "Papers published in /PSCF /do not reflect
any official position of the American Scientific Affiliation."
 
Several decades ago I was involved in the production of a collection of
Journal articles called /Origins and Change/ which was published in a
format much like the Journal. Readers
could see where the situation was in these fields via a low cost
publication that one could put in the hands of the laity.
 
Some of you have felt the need for something of that sort for the age
question. We might call it /God Did it But When? /to go with the book
/God Did It But How?/ that we now
distribute.
 
What are your ideas?
