...that would be insulting. Sort of like characterizing something you don't understand as "crap." For what it's worth, I don't believe in evolution either. I had some problems with my eyes recently and learned more than I wanted to about the incredible design and function of these priceless "body parts" that enable us to see. To suggest that the countless similar examples of intelligent design we see all around (and in) us are somehow the product of mere chance requires (in Senator Clinton's words) the willing suspension of disbelief. A few hundred years ago scientists told us the world was flat. God's Word (Isa 40:22) said otherwise. There are certainly other examples, but the point is that scientific theory is subject to change. In fact, the theory of evolution continues to, well, evolve. God's Word is unchanging, and He has a better track record! Now, I don't pretend to completely understand either position, however I do know that there are highly thoughtful and intelligent people on both sides. I've also found that the folks that resort to name-calling and insults are typically the ones who are less confident in their argument. I don't know who I will support at this point, however even a cursory look at American history shows very clearly that we are a nation founded and governed by many people of faith. That has served us well in the past, and (in my opinion) our "evolution" to a progressively more secular society has not resulted in positive change. Merry Christmas!

I don't know what his views are specifically, but I assume he favors marriage (between a man and a woman) rather than shacking up. Is that what you're calling "very unattractive?' Sounds pretty mainstream to me, not to mention documented as the most healthy living arrangment for raising children.

I'm browsing-- hoping to have WLS of some type in 2008. Lots to learn that's for sure! --Theo
