Several scripture quotes. Interpretation of quotes. Vociferous attack on concept of evolution. Several misstatements about current theories of the evolutionary process. Off-hand reference to Newton’s third law.

Returns to thread, thanks the SDMB members for thoughtfull responses. Pounces on the most trivial point available and then disappears once more, to return when his cup once more runneth over with selfrightuousness of latest inspirational sermon.
