Could this be the same Doug who dismisses various ideas that question
his prejudices with the monikers "hippie", "conspiracy theory", etc? ;-)
Would you read a book titled "Creationism vindicated"? In the case of
MP, his case seems even better -- he actually finds their
point/conclusion not wrong but uninteresting, yes? So I sort of see his
point.
And yours too: Being much more of that much-maligned persuasion called
"relativism" than anyone I know, I do see value in reading all
alternatives as possible. Even "Creationism vindicated".
