No worries Scott. Thanks. I've actually had a nice private chat with the original poster who assured me he had no intention of offending anyone, which I also had no intention of. I thought I was putting together a rather witty tongue-half-in-cheek response to the whole extremist thing. Oh well.

Great app Roger. How about a preference to toggle between evolutionist and creationist timescales? You'd then also need to add a 'first 7-day' period and new images for the flood, etc ;-) On 24 Jan 2011, at 18:48, Bob Sneidar wrote: > But what happens when they change how long they thing the u

Thanks for that Roger - great work. I got a good impression of the overall scope of time playing with this. I wish I could pull it apart and add to it! Some feedback: first on the size of the app, I think it is both too small and too big. I certainly wanted it larger - the design was too small t
