I don’t think that’s what he believes. If you’re afraid to write him, fine. It’s just an email.

You know what? You're right! You did. You said you didn't believe in evolution. But you never seem to mind too much when your co-religionists are running around saying there was no Adam and Eve, and I believe you said once that John 6 was more certain than Genesis 1 because in the latter "no one was there." Well, that wasn't true, of course, since the Author was there, but . . . point is, you don't believe in evolution, but it doesn't bother you very much, nor do you seem to care when co-religionists make evolutionism into a quasi-dogma that separates "true chrstians" from "bibliolatrous heretics."

If he didn't believe in evolution, no Catholic FReeper would be pushing him as a heroic convert--especially not NYer. Nevertheless I'll e-mail him. It's not like I'm going to read something in response that I've never read before.
