Hi,
I came across your email address in the Yahoo
Clubs related to the Biblical Creation. Perhaps you
would be interested in my new book, "The Theory of
Creation." It is a scientific analysis of the
Biblical Creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4). The url
is:

Thank you for your time, and I hope you will
check out my website.

Sincerely,
Jim Schicatano

I have no idea how he got my email address as I do not engage in the evo-vs-cre debate. I'm more of a pseudoscience-vs-debunker type guy. So do you think this is what all of you guys been looking for, the elusive theory of creation, or is it more of the same anti-evolutionist diatribe?

Each verse is carefully examined for its scientific meaning, the original Hebrew text is often referenced, popular theories are explored, and the purpose and implications of God’s actions are addressed.

Certainly not a scientific theory...

Yet again, "Science" perceived as some sort of fixed dogma.

I wonder if plasma cosmology would fit into Mr. Schicatano's assertions.

Yeah yeah, same ol' same ol'.

The part I found funny was the astounding correctness of "green plants for food" bit. So is the author claiming the bible condones the comsumption of oleander (a powerful toxin that will easily kill) and coca (the leaves of which contain cocaine) for food?

...or even the 'green plants' found in those special 'brownies' a friend would bring over for the Super Bowl party

I digress

Hey, I'm sure even the LORD is partial to a few J's once in a while.

Too bad he doesn't have a discussion board like the "Foolish Faith" guy, although Judah seems to still be having techical problems.

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."

The brownies are kosher as long as you are only using seedy plants in your recipe.

Judging by his sample chapters there is nothing scientific in his book. All he is doing is retelling the creationist myth.

Apparently he hasn't been able to bring himself in front of the camera since then either. Hopefully it's because he too embarrassed to be seen.

Care to trash a New Agers forum? See my post in the existence of God forum.
