That's intertesting and something I'd not given much thought. Thanks!
They (AiG et. al.) propose crap like this and get away with because their target audence simply hasn't the science/math to point out the error. So, even when they get caught at it, there's no need to change anytinng. The faithful will believe anyway. The REALLY sad part of it all is that their funkey math might (probably is - I have minimal faith in the goodness of human nature) deliberate. And any argument is put down as just the atheists promoting their agenda again, what ever that might be. d |
