Give me a break, huh? It is not the creator's task to do things that are consistant with science, it is science's task to figure out what the creator created. If a scientist makes a bad guess, it is *not* the creator's job to change everything so as to make the scientist's bad guess into the 'truth', it is the scientist's task to figure out that he has made a bad guess and revise his/her guess. -- _____ /_____\ from the flying doghouse of /_______\ Snoopy |___| ____|___|_____ ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert
