Lovely, Darren. Personally, I find it not at all inconsistent that the quantum physicist believes in God or the biochemist writes poetry. Sometimes the most rational among us have the greatest insight regarding the inexplicable. I'm probably a moron for even having been baited (perhaps even trolled???) into the argument. But, damn, those fundies tick me off! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94770 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
