 |  |  |  | #3278 |  | "The argument that the literal story of Genesis can qualify as science collapses on three major grounds: the creationists' need to invoke
 miracles in order to compress the events of the earth's history into
 the biblical span of a few thousand years; their unwillingness to
 abandon claims clearly disproved, including the assertion that all
 fossils are products of Noah's flood; and their reliance upon distortion,
 misquote, half-quote, and citation out of context to characterize the
 ideas of their opponents."

 The Skeptical Inquirer, Winter 87/88, pg. 186
