 FM> I was fortunate enough to be present when a former young assistant of
 FM> Einstein, Max Herzberger, became angry and protested when Voegelin
 FM> observed that when Einstein made statements outside of his field (forty
 FM> years ago some leading scientists were regularly pronouncing on
 FM> political affairs) he said some pretty silly things.
 AC> You could be talking about that commie Steven J. Gould.  It seems that
 AC> Evolutionists only criticize out-of-field comments when that commentary
 AC> is not kind to Evolution.
   As you well know, I converse ONLY with those who remain fair, courteous 
nd
on a level of common human respect.  I do not dodge discussion by referring 
o
opponents as "commies" , Nazis" or other such derogatory, infant attempts to
establish false superiority.  As you also well know, I consider it absurdly
foolish to argue with people in the realm of "creationism" versus the theory
of evolution.  You, on the other hand have never evidenced to me that you 
now
any polite way to enter into a discussion.  I remain happy to meet you on a
level of one human being to another but as long as you attach foul lables to
people count me out.  I also never heard of any Steven J. Gould.  Sorry.
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
