I stated I wouldn't comment on Ray's explanation of "super science"
but this ad hominem I see as fair game.

When we remember that John Wilkins is a fruit loop from Australia,

On what do you base that assertion, Ray? Dr. Wilkins is indeed from
Australia, but other than showing you are wrong, why do you consider him a
"fruit loop"?

I agree with Ray on this one (but it's not a question of origins, so no
need to panic, unless it's State of Origin). Being from Australia is
prima facie evidence of being a fruit loop.

But does being a popular kids breakfast cereal preclude Aussies from
being good scholars? Surely they haven't made it with God, as
demonstrated by their heathenly naming a town after Darwin, so God may
have invoked the Romans 1 cloaking rule upon the whole country, except
parts of the outback.

Our hearts are pure and we are champions because of our breakfast
cereals. We win at rugby, gaelic football, cricket and womens'
basketball. We are mighty... small.

Anyway, this is God's Own Country, so we can be as eccentric as we like,
just like rich people are eccentric and not mad as hatters. The only
competitors we have for divinely favoured nation is New Zealand (and the
French when they beat us at rugby).
