Tsk tsk tsk.Well you do have me at a bit of a disadvantage because I can't invalidate your arguements with things I make up. I'll just have to live with the fundemental laws of the universe as proven through empirical evidence and observation.

You know what? You're absolutely right!
You can keep your peer-reviewed "scientific" journals. The fact that I can completely demolish their validity with a basic, high school understanding of math and science makes this conversation all the more entertaining.
Particularly if this Dr. Newton you're using has actual scientific credentials and not just credentials according to whatever theological college he recieved his degrees from, then it's just so much more interesting to me to show how a simple google search completely invalidate's that man's entire line of work.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
