The primary problem (as that with SciAmer) is not just what the
individual may or may not do, but what organizations will do with
a representatives holding the stated opinions.  Creationist's
organizations have a tendency to say that their views are validated
solely due to the position of one of their representatives.
An irrelevant statement, but it gets made anyway.  A PR nightmare
for SciAmer...


Opinions expressed are solely those of the author, and do not necessarily
represent those opinions of this or any other organization.  The facts,
however, simply are and do not "belong" to anyone.
