With this issue we present Harald Heinze's response to my article
criticizing his small universe plasma model. I've also included my rebuttal,
hoping to conclude the debate with it. I've left some questions unanswered
which usually leaves me open to the charge that I left them unanswered
because I couldn't respond to them. Rest assured that this is
not the case. I've dealt with the hardest ones, including those which
require more of an answer than time and space will here allow.
This past month there has been a hot debate about geocentricity on the
Creation Research Society's Internet reflector. Because of the emotional
outbursts of some, the topic has been declared off limits on the reflector.
It's interesting how some will argue by spraying many random questions,
which, if one were to try to respond, would be tremendously time consuming
and would just result in another spray of questions. I've noticed
that such people rarely read any detailed response. They thing that they
will be believed by their flood of words. As a result, I will be mailing out
quite a few copies of the firmament paper I presented in the Netherlands
this summer, as well as copies of the Barbour and Bertotti paper.
My paper at the Sixth European Creationist Congress created quite a
stir. Although the division was not as vitriolic as it was when Walter van
der Kamp addressed that body several years ago, there were those who
now felt confident enough to admit that there may be something to
geocentricity, after all. Most people's reaction was: I wouldn't like to
be in his shoes.
Finally, for the last few years I have been unable to send out renewal
notices, so please beware:
