Re: [asa] moon dust

I must confess now. I simply made it all up and the journal as well.

I hope my humour offended no one.

However it does show how daft YEC "theories " are. Think of something
totally daft, wrap it up in pseudoscientific language and you have a theory
at least as good as Darwin's or Einstein's!!!!

I wish I had the maths and then I could have sent it off to CRSQ and then
confessed after publication.
