Graham, I'm NOT Charlie McCarthy so please don't attempt
to put words in my mouth.
I have never once wavered from my statement that not a pindot of
evidence backs up the theory of man's evolution from any inhuman
primate -- and from anything lower than that.
As Stephen Jay Gould said -- or didn't say -- the theory is nothing
more than ``an adult's fairy tale."
Fortunately, the vehicle that has been transporting such a ridiculous
misconception -- a baldface lie -- for so many miles finally has begun
to sputter and soon will run out of gas.
