Busting Creationism is all fine and dandy, but I don’t think it’s the right angle for the show. How are they going to blow something up? ---

Jamie and Adam are each going to try to find out. Jamie will be trying to build his own singularity. Adam is going to use a buttload of dynamite… ---

I say this as one of the most churchified people on this board: You will never convince the creationists, because their conclusion was never based on logic. It’s beating your head against the wall. I’ve just been in email convos about this with other “wish-creationism-were-true” people, and it’s only their rare intellectual integrity that even keeps the conversation going. Adam won’t convince anyone, because they aren’t willing to listen to anyone. ---

I’m all for it. BIG TIME. Maybe our own **QED** can help in that regard… Is he still writing for it?

It’s hard to impress anyone with a blatant disregard for LOGIC. ☹ edit: Hell ;), if they can convert 2%, that’s still a victory and a start. ---
