I have to concur with Don Chan in not wanting net.origins created.  I think
that net.religion continues to have room in it for discussion of origins
and, if holders of some specific theory of origins really feel their theory
is scientific, then they can submit it to places where real scientists
hang out, like net.physics and net.biology, where it is more likely to be
seen by someone who really knows the field.  I, too, am tired of seeing
pinhead's views of scientific procedures and methods being foisted on
the public as the truth -- and am tired of seeing people trying to present
straw men to an uninformed audience.  If your theory is good, it will
stand up under criticism.  If not, then you probably deserve the flames
you get.
