I licked my lips as I started in on the first couple of pages, thinking it was going to be an excellent scientific treatise on a subject that I'm not terribly well informed on. Only after wading trough the whole article do I finally discover that it is as mired in mysticism and religious drek as any creationist story. Oh well. Just goes to show what happens when you hold unrealistic hopes for alt.atheism. Kind of like firing up 'rn' and watching half of the posted articles disappear in a single abortion kill file entry. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Bob Beauchaine bobbe@vice.ICO.TEK.COM "Look, I tried the cat experiment.
