Re: [asa] A case of non-biological ID

"seems that Vernon's case depends highly on theological rather than on
scientific 'knowledge."

Yes, that seems to be the case.

Friend wife and I were reading Galatians this morning In the Unvarnished New
Testament by Andy Gaus. The text reads "You busy yourself counting ... ."
The implication, Gaus says in one of his rare footnotes, is that the
Galatians were trying to combine pagan arts with Christianity -- gnosticism?
-- "the secret wisdom can be seen in the stars." Vernon's thesis is not
quite that -- but it suggestive of that kind of thinking.
