Dear Gary;
        Being an Adventist, i must raise at least SOME objections or at least appear sceptical a bit when
it comes to evolutionary matters.  Truth is, as both a geologist and a biologist, i can see that 99%
of the "sciece" in creationism is just wishful thinking or worse!  It does bug me, however, the way
you and others talk about things like allopathic vs sympatric speciation as if they were boni-fide
History, and not simply inferences and hypotheses.  Actually, if i were to side with an evolutionary
camp, i would vote  the puctuated-equilibrium ticket, since the fossil record is pretty-well
(perhaps completely!) devoid of convincing intermediates (they don't call them "missing links" for
nothing!!), suggesting that if they do indeed occur, they are quite transient, lasting only a very
short period of time, geologically-speaking, so that they virtually never get "captured" by the
sedementary column!!
-Still not convinced,
Ross M.

P.S. : as for "fending off", perhaps a good fly-swatter...
