Re: [asa] Nothing Buttery

Hi Randy,

From page 11 of Rodney D. Holder, "Nothing But Atoms and Molecules" (Tunbridge Wells, UK: Monarch 1993);

<cite>
In a small book called "The Clockwork Image" published in 1974 Professor Donald Mackay claimed to have coined the term 'nothing-buttery' some 25 years earlier.
</cite>

Ref: Donald M. Mackay, "The Clockwork Image: A Christian Perspective on Science" (London: IVP, 1974).

Hope it helps,

Blessings,
Murray
