snip loads of stuff

Hi Gareth,

Are you more qualified than said gentleman in this area? (I honestly dont
know and seeing as he is a chemistry prof not a biology prof)

Is there a reason why his comments should be doubted more so than yours by
an impartial 3rd party such as me? (For instance was he previously a
creationist and now just has a different label)?

I ask because Im not an expert and I would like to know who holds the most
informed opinion here.

regards

Phil
