I wonder if Lief would let us know how much of what is accepted
in modern science his beliefs cause him to reject.  He has hinted
that he rejects the ordering accepted by the biological sciences,
but that he can accept the space/time concepts of the Cosmologists.
Is this true?  How about radioactive dating?  How about Geology
and the ordering of strata, or the notions of Plate Tectonics?

It's very courteous of him to admit that the overwhelming majority
of scientists have a bit of evidence to back up their beliefs.
I just wonder how much of science will have to be tossed out
if he were correct.
