Agreed. But I don't see us making any progress in that direction bickering among ourselves over exactly what God did, in what order, and how long it took.
Arguing for the validity of creation and the fallacy of Darwinism is important and should be made until schools start teaching what’s verifiable, not myth. I think your emphasis on a minor issue of slight variances within an animal group is irrelevant, confuses things, and doesn’t help with the big, important issue here.
If we can’t convince each other of the truth of our positions, when we already agree on a great many things, how can we convince others, who we have more fundamental disagreements with? I think we need to have these “internal debates”, until we achieve some consensus. The libs have already done that, so they can present a coherent position to the public in the cultural war. We must do the same, or we are handicapping ourselves.
