Ha, and likewise double Ha!  By this reasoning, since the ancient greeks had
a god (goddess?) named Andromeda, we must all be descended from aliens from
the Andromeda galaxy.  Hmmm, come to think on it maybe you have something
there at that.

You ignore a fundamental principle of talk.origins science.  If it isn't
in the text books *right now* it isn't science.

Yep, cold helium would.  Doesn't have to be compressed either.  Now about
that heat...

Point taken.  As usual Ted, er, ah, I mean Warren has one or two small
legitimate points mixed in.

Note folks a first!  Real live documentation.  Warren is beating me down;
help folks, before this notorious crackpot converts me....

Giggle.

I have every expectation that you will do for the evidence for creation
what you have done for the theory of creation.
