I'm not going to waste much time on this as it wasn't the email I was
citing, which you have chosen to ignore, despite the fact that it is
cited as the most "controversial" and the explanation shows it not to
be controversial at all when the context is considered. Why did you
not at least acknowledge the validity of this point?
As regards the quote you give; on the face of it, I'd say "fair
enough". I don't consider the AiG "Tech Journal" to be a legitimate
peer-reviewed journal and would not encourage folks to publish in it
or to cite papers from it. For a while I considered myself a
creationist as I got totally deluded by it, and I used to peer-review
articles for TJ. Eventually I decided I had to come clean and decline
further reviews from them as I couldn't consider myself to be a
creationist any more and they only allow other creationists to do peer
review.
