	Retorts to John Rennie
		Responding John Rennie’s fifteen answers published in the July 2002 issue of Scientific American serves to expose straw man arguments used by evolutionists as well as to point out errors in the criticisms of evolutionists.
		Rennie’s remark about methodological naturalism being the central tenet of modern science reveals his lack of objectivity and understanding of scientific inquiry.
		The naturalism bias proposed by Rennie and that dominates the field of science forces a natural explanation regardless of the evidence to the contrary.

	Significant Scots - John Rennie
		RENNIE, JOHN, a celebrated civil engineer, was the youngest son of a respectable farmer at Phantassie, in East Lothian, where he was born, June 7, 1761.
		The peculiar talents of young Rennie seem to have been called forth and fostered by his proximity to the workshop of the celebrated mechanic, Andrew Meikle, the inventor or improver of the thrashing-machine.
		In the erection of the Albion mills in London, which was completed in 1789, Mr Rennie was intrusted by his employers with the construction of the mill-work and machinery, which were admitted to be of superior excellence.

		(1761-1821), British engineer, was the youngest son of James Rennie, a farmer at Phantassie, Haddingtonshire, where he was born on the 7th of June 1761.
		On his way to the parish school at East Linton he used to pass the workshop of Andrew Meikle (1719-1800), the inventor of the threshing machine, and its attractions were such that he spent there much of the time that was supposed to be spent at school.
		John completed the construction of London Bridge, and at its opening in 1831 was made a knight.

		Rennie's account is nothing but a repetition of speculation put forward by Charles Darwin 150 years ago: The claim that "primitive" eyes with very poor vision existed in nature and that more complex eyes might have evolved from these.
		Rennie writes that "Today's intelligent-design advocates are more sophisticated than their predecessors." Yet the sad fact is that the proponents of the theory of evolution are still leaning on Darwin's invalid theses from 150 years ago.
		Rennie's effort to portray the organelle that Yersinia pestis uses to inject toxins into cells, which partly resembles the flagellum, or flagella with simpler structures as evolutionary stages of the flagellum itself is also hopeless.

		John Rennie was a prime example of a cricketer who, though endowed with fewer natural gifts than most other first-class players, nevertheless made himself into a quality player and even reached Test status through his own sheer hard work and determination.
		John was perhaps fortunate to be chosen for the national team's tour of England in 1993, with a depleted team which was then short of pace bowlers at the best of times.
		John did not play much in 1998/99 for personal reasons, mainly through the loss of his premature baby son; since then he and his wife have had another son.

	John Rennie: Enlightenment Engineer -- Objectivist Center -- Reason, Individualism, Achievement, and Freedom
		Rennie was one of the Industrial Revolution's leading engineers, along with John Smeaton and Thomas Telford.
		Born on June 7, 1761, the son of a Scottish farmer, Rennie apprenticed to a millwright and then attended Edinburgh University for three years, where he studied with John Robison and Joseph Black (who had been Watt's teacher and patron at the University of Glasgow).
		Indeed, after the retirement of the great John Smeaton in 1791, Rennie was so frequently consulted about civil-engineering projects that it is hard to see how he was able to handle them all.

		Rennie leveled a sustained attack on both creationism and creationists that echoed throughout the halls of academia—and far beyond.
		Rennie argued that while “laypeople” may use the term theory as something that falls “in the middle of a hierarchy of certainty—above a mere hypothesis but below a law,” the truth is that “scientists do not use the terms that way” (2002, 287[1]:79).
		Rennie is not going to bother to study the subject before he puts pen to paper, then he should avoid writing on the subject altogether.
