I have to agree with you, it is relevant to an extent. While not intended to be evidence for creationism, it is an attack against evolutionists though the implication that the X-Club inordinately influenced the conclusions by scientists of the day. CTD just threw out the implication and then refused to provide anything more than his say so as evidence that it was true. If trying to influence opinion through rhetoric and debate were proof that what is being said is untrue, then most of what preachers said from their pulpits is untrue. I'm not willing to believe that. I think what a preacher, scientist, teacher or politician says should be judged on the evidence not how stridently they announce it or who they tell it to.

Considering the number of scientists extant in the timeframe being discussed, it shouldn't be hard to find cases of legitimate creationists being convinced by the "overwhelming" evidence. But nobody's producing evidence to support this version of history. I honestly am not stumbling across them in my own research.

Neither am I failing to support my discoveries. I've included many links with my reports, more than I honestly expect people want to read. Your accusation is fit to fool only the very dimmest of wits.

But back to the other side of the equation. We have a boring, unsupported argument that the history I am presenting is tantamount to calling all scientists in certain fields "stupid". Clearly they have nothing better, for they've had a good amount of time and still haven't produced any evidence.

Would anyone care to count the links I've provided in support vs. the links provided by evolutionists in support of their claims? Not that abundance of links decides an issue, but look who's bring this one up. Their house is glass; mine is iron.

You all can <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/taz.gif" alt="" /> all you want. It won't change history.
