Re: [asa] Taggle? (was: What Darwin Didn't Know - Dr. Fuz Rana)

Merv,
  Thanks for making the point for me.
John and James, neither of your posts are consistent with our goal of
"providing an open forum where controversies can be discussed without fear
of unjust condemnation. Legitimate differences of opinion among Christians
who have studied both the Bible and science are freely expressed within the
Affiliation in a context of Christian love and concern for truth."

  We expect vigorous debate but with respect for each other no matter what
the view. Slapping gratuitous labels on others is not acceptable. Both of
you have now been given fair warning.

  Randy
