Dear Al,
Thanks for this "scientific" information.
One problem Biblical fundamentalists have with some of this new research is that the complexities of this scientific data is beyond their area of expertise to check the facts. So they don't know if the information is reliable or being reliably interpreted or what. And they also know how biased scientists are.
So until a Christian science fundamentalist is able to check this information himself with the proper critical criteria, there is nothing for us to do but to shelve this information as "INCONCLUSIVE."
On the other hand, scientists from Darwin to Einstein have proven themselves to be totally inept at interpreting scientific data confronting them. So you can't blame fundies for being a bit skeptical.
It's good to know the scientists are still out there trying, though. I'll let the Bible be my scientific handbook authority for moment, however. Thanks for the post.
