I warned you guys -- don't bother replying to Ed Conrad, but if you must,
do it in talk.origins. Now look what's happened: he's spammed the above
jewel of scientific criticism _3_ times to each of the many newsgroups
he babbles on. There is no science here, please don't waste your breath
on it...especially not in a sci. newsgroup.
followups redirected to talk.origins.
