No doubt. But I must say (as a pretty uninterested bystander) that
this seems to fulfil George's definition of 'mindless heckling' to a
tee. At all events it doesn't tell me anything useful; only that you
don't like what George has to say.
Surely, if a rational response can be made, why not put one together
on a web page, perhaps as an FAQ, and just link to it each time it
seems necessary.

Forgeddabouit.... "Uncle Al", real name Allan Schwartz,
is a notorious anonymous and foul heckler from Los Angeles
who was outed years ago by some irate but responsible
citizen. You won't get anything positive, rational or
cooperative from him.
As for a seperate hecklement website, it's already been
done, some illiterate german truck driver and part time
musician named Bernhard Schornak (whose grandfather by the
way was a heroic resistance fighter executed by the Nazi's)
posted an elaborate "anti-SPOG" website in Germany (his
grandfather must have rolled over in his grave !) but I
recently searched for it and see that the site is down for
one reason or another.... unless someone else can find it?
Naturally, having no science education the entire site was
bogus. In view of his grandfather's heroic stand against
the Nazi's I could never fathom Bernhard's "anti scientific
proof of God" attitude which seemed utterly reactionary to
me..... maybe a different branch of the family or something?

Not that I care either way; my interest is limited to patristics.

Now there is an interesting subject!
Certainly the Church Fathers were some of the most
brilliant, capable and heroic men ever to walk the face of
the Earth. Particularly people like St. Augustine.
Not only did they figure out that there was an
(axiomatic) 4-gospel canonl, but they also figured out that
there was a (dynamical) Trinity based on the cybernetic feed
back loop. These discoveries were centuries, even millenia
ahead of their time and have only recently been
scientifically proven as part of the discovery of the
world's first scientific proof of God (Hammond, 1994, 2003).
All the best,
Roger Pearse

Heads up Roger, there is going to be a resurgence of
interest in "armchair patristics" in the not too distant
future... a real "CSI Miami" type of investigation into who
was who and who said what during the Apostolic Age.... after
the world finds out a scientific proof of God has been
discovered.
