I agree that ex post facto arguments are pointless. Also, the continual use of probability in anti-evolution arguments fails to take into account both the time over which the "primordial soup" was in existence and being bombarded by energy, and the total planetary population of the Universe over which the same conditions apply. Any references to this article please use "Ex post facto" as a tag. -- Pete Hardie, Univ. of Florida, CIS Gould username: hardie
