      I never even insinuated that physicist/chemist = creationist, simply
that I had NOTICED that nearly all the creationists with real credentials
to thier names have been physicists.  And I can almost guarantee you there
are fewer biology or geology degree holding creationists then in ANY other
field, so I think your second statement is in error too.

     I said I had heared two physicists saying that, not that I beleived
it.  The reasons why the argument is in error has been adequately
explained by other postings; the Sun is the energy source that keeps
(most) biological systems from going to a state of entropy.
     Sorry to clutter up the list.  We should take this debate discussion
off line now, I just didn't wanted to clear up the little apparant
misperception that I was a creationist.
