I, and many, many others here are staunch defenders and admirers of
America, but when it comes to this controversy over Darwin, we just
don't get it.


I'm a mushy-middle person on the topic.
But personally, I'd say that the these two views of origins
do have impacts on a person's worldview. And in some cases, their politics.
The question is really which worldview rules:
a materialistic one or a spiritual one.

Actually, you'd get a better glimpse of this by looking for a copy of
the book "The Question of God", written by a Harvard psychiatrist
(Nicolai? Nicolosi?) that used used the character study of Freud and C.S. Lewis
to show the tension between the two camps.

I'm sure some will disagree with this partial explanation, but
I think it gets to at least some of the roots of this suabble. (And yes, a fair number of Christians believe in some version of evolution)

Many thanks for the reference, sounds of interest. Google came up with the full name, Dr. Armand Nicholi. Now, if my local library can come up with the text itself...I'll let you know
