re: #511 Spare O’Lake

I heard an interview with Richard Dawkins this morning on CBC’s The Current. He had a couple of really cool similes:
1. Believing that the earth is 6,000 years old is like believing that the Holocaust never happened.
2. Believing that the earth is 6,000 years old is like believing that the distance between NYC and LA is only 28 feet.

I can see the second analogy, but Dawkins is off base with the first. To compare anything other than the denial of genocide to Holocaust denial is to cheapen the Holocaust and the evil that caused it to happen.
