Note that he has now changed his claim from a million to a billion 
(except that kkk is a sufficiently non-standard usage that he can claim 
that this means most anything he wants, until he nails an interpretation 
to the mast). (Past usage, for the ages of the universe and the earth, 
fitted kkk=billion, but he could claim to be a YEC and that kkk means 
thousands.)
