<DIV><FONT size=2>1. Some books such as scientific text books
(medical texts, for example) with outdated or otherwise erroneous information
need to be destroyed to prevent the consequences of actions resulting from these
errors. Composting them is probably better than burning,
however.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>2. <FONT size=2>The key phrase for those who missed it in
my suggestion below is "with just as much accuracy." Think
irony. When statements result from religious or other fantasies with
probabilities infinitesimally close to zero, and no critical decisive tests
exist (save the tests for logical inconsistency) to decide which fantasy has the
probability closest to zero, any claims made by believers based on either
fantasy ought be seen for what they are and reacted to accordingly. In the
case cited the reactions ought include laughter, horror, and the
sadness that comes with knowing that rationality is far from
distinguishes man from the other animals despite the claims of
Aristotle.</FONT></DIV>
