Response to JaclynGlenn's Response to Ray Comfort
JaclynGlenn attempts to respond to Ray Comfort (link – caution, profanity and blasphemy). Once you weed through the profanity, blasphemy, and assorted name-calling and insults, there is actually very little to JaclynGlenn’s comments, aside from an unsubstantiated assertion that Mr. Comfort is somehow opposed to logic.

There has been discovery made of a bacteria that apparently obtains its energy without the use of oxygen (link). Of course, this will be used by scoffers to assert the evolutionary hypothesis, but it is an interesting specimen for legitimate scientific purposes as well. If the bacteria can produce energy without oxygen, this could pave…
