I never said they were. I said the creationists are the folks who continue to
put forth the discredited "tired light" hypothesis.

How so?

So? They're driven by evidence, not by some idiot like you bullshitting.

unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my

hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
