I agree. But like I said, even if I were not a Christian, I would not buy evolution as taught. Ann's book and Fredoneverything.net cover it better than I can. They both have the same problems with it that I do.

It is not that it denies Christianity that is the problem. The problem is that it is more like Ptolemy's mathematical model of the solar system. It held water - to a point - and then finally had to be abandoned. Evolution as espoused by some True Believers is on a similar footing. What must be added to that is that some "examples for the layperson" being used today have been disproved for decades, but because of the simplicity of the examples, are still being used to illustrate the concept. That is intellectually dishonest.

Such examples are mentioned in Ann's book.

As I've said before, the subtypes of evolution that are provable and have been observed are hard to argue with, but there are too many logical fallacies being applied to "prove" the lions share of evolution "theory".

Again, it looks like we are pretty close on the topic. Likewise, I do not buy into the entire evolution pretext anymore that I buy into Genesis' "six literal days" (at least as humans define a day) concept.
