One dang fine article, and one well worth reading.
As if often the case here at the FreeRublic, I have received no suggestion from the Moderators as to why my post was pulled.
Perhaps it relates to a post by WaterDragon on another thread that she also started, with another excerpt only from the Oregon Magazine, explaining there why she chose to post only a short excerpt rather than the full article. For this see Post #17 of Science and Creation Myth .
WaterDragon makes some good points, which however seem to be at odds with has been the long standing suggestion on the FreeRepublic to post full articles (legal constraints possibly constraining).
