Ernie, What a thoughtful response. I certainly don't want to restrict info, what I do want is to leave no pseudoscientific claim left unrefuted. You may be right about openness and GW, but as Naomi Oreskes says about global warming: The scientific community needs to approach the issue with the

Ho Boy. Here we go. This is a potential source of evidence for many school board discussions on whether to teach creationism alongside science. (I wonder why they consider astronomy an appropriate field for the journal?). Jim! You are good to bring this up. We should all take a lesson from the
