Thanks, Cirdan - here it is.

The "freaked out" is right after the letter by Majerus, the other two are closer to the beginning.

BTW, one more thought on "quote-mining" - we have to remember, IMO - and this is extremely important - that scientific data is neutral!. So please don't automatically assume deceitful quote-mining if an evolutionist quotes a creationist to support evolution, or vice-versa. Do you see what I mean? I saw someone on this thread object to a creationist using data gathered by an evolutionist to support creationism. There's nothing wrong with that! Data is NEUTRAL! Now if he did quotes out of context, that's a different thing. Neither side should do that. But if DATA is being used, one scientist is certainly free to draw logical conclusions, just as well as another scientist, no matter WHO gathered the data. Would you agree?
