  What a disappointing article.  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.
