This is typical Ted Holden stuff. If you want to read more, read
talk.origins, where Ted (and others like him) holds forth at
great length. Don't do it here. If you must answer, change the
newsgroups line to talk.origins.

And yes, we actually do have the temerity to shout down those claims.
Unregenerate, we are. Absolutely unregenerate.
