Sorry, you're right, I didn't mean to discourage anyone from responding. But it *does* help to keep in mind the possibility that the person for whom the effort of a detailed reply is being made doesn't care about the actually science and isn't interested in understanding the issues, but is simply upset by the threat of evolution and is lashing out. And even when that does turn out to be the case, an informed response may prove very helpful to others.
