Whatever you may believe about an original Creation of All, the fact is that there was, less than twenty <\/p>\n<p>thousand years ago, a deliberate redesign.

Readers need to know that is simply an incompetent stand for a scientist to take: You may not be able to prove God, but <\/p>\n<p>you can demonstrate design of the world. I know. I\u2019ve done it.
