Not much remains when removing these from her 'contributions'

And despite being told about this several times, she seems not really
interested in learning.

But between godhood and the total ignorant, there are a lot of
gradations. Personally, I expect myself to familiarize myself with
both sides of the story before presenting something as the 'truth'.
Janice's track record has been quite poor in this area.
That's all. Personally, I believe we should encourage Janice to
improve her background research, as her comments may be seen as
ignorance and an ignorance typical of Christians. Remember that this
group is not just about science but also about faith. As such we
should remain very aware of Augustine's wise words.
