any disagreement with Hogan's statement above

Not so sure I would disagree with anything he said in the quoted
statement. Was it supposed to be a declaration of the irrelevancy
of evolution?

As for tsuwm or jheem turning you off from reading Hogan sci-fi, I
should think you'd relish the opportunity to prove them wrong, at
least to your own satisfaction.

It'd also be nice if whoever widened out this thread would figure
it out and do whatever is necessary to narrow it back down.
