It seems that the web article "Why Evolution is Stupid, Part One" has hit a nerve. I received the following e-mailed response:

Keep up the great work! I really think you're on to something big and
revolutional!

I hope you have a wonderful, short life here on Earth. Are you going to
making your way up to Heaven soon?

Kevin:

Thank you for your short, if brief comments about my web article.

By the question, "are you going to making your way up to Heaven soon?" I can
only assume you meant to ask, "are you going to BE making your way up to
heaven soon?" In answer to this, I can only say, "I fervently hope so." I
do, of course, believe that the Lord's return is quite imminent. But,
should He continue to tarry, I will continue to carry out His work as best I
understand it and know how.

I thank you for your well-wishing towards me; my life thus far has been
exceptionally blessed. Well, excpetionally blessed since AFTER surrendering
to the Lord... As to the duration of the remainder of my life, that is in
my Lord's hands.

The only thing I would need to take askance at would be that you seem to
think my work is "something big and revolutional." Laying aside for the
moment the the quibbling, little fact that the adjectival form of
"revolution" is "revolutionary", I would point out that it is, in fact, not.
It is merely factual. All of the hard sciences militate strongly against
the religious hypothesis of evolution, a fact which I reluctantly came to
terms with a number of years ago, and which led to my surrendering to the
Lord Jesus. I would be happy to discuss this further with you at your
convenience.

Again, thank you for your most welcome comments.
