I should make the point that I (most people in these debates?) do not try
to "win" over the opponant, or for that matter all those dyed in the wool
creationists out there listening in. The audience, from my pont of view,
is the fence sitter. Perhaps there are not too many fence sitters out
there, and thus this would be kind of poinless. But I think there are
some, and my intention is to reach them
