I have tried to look at this web site and to read the paper, but
unfortunately you don't make it at all easy. I'm not talking about the
science but the HTML: the fonts are almost unreadable on my screen, the
files are huge and contain numerous huge image files within them. I think
unless you can find some way of putting your points one at a time in a
style more suited to a news group discussion it's going to be very
difficult to discuss them.

I also had a look at the book review at
http://www.endeav.org/evolut/age/review.html, but sentences like "By now it
is well known that Darwin's theory cannot explain many observations and
preserves its interest only for historians of science" incur suspicion that
we are not dealing with biology here, whereas ones like "the book should
enjoy a level of esteem in world scientific opinion equal to that enjoyed
by the work of I. Prigogine, K. Denbigh and others" sound a bit too
optimistic.

A pity, as it makes a change to have a real posting about something that
appears to be relevant to the group, after all the garbage that has been
appearing here lately.
