I was going to put it in the theology forum, but figured its point was the (non)science of it, not of the theological-based claims. I didn't want to know anything about his religious beliefs, just if all his science was correct. I know probably every point in it was discussed probably numerous times here, but they're simply all unrelated and have nothing to do with this piece by Johnson (unless there's a thread pertaining to it already, which I'll search for.)
I'll do some searching, and look up Robert T Pennock.
I'll run the HIV!>AIDS past my friend too.

Certainly not the believers in the Almighty. So what's the point?
