Short and "too sweet"...
Evolution is Religion—Not Science
Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion—a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with meaning and morality. . . . Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today.

...and the "vasomotor" aspect raises a "bone of contention" that I've never gotten a really good answer for either. Many mammals...or it's "brother" terms "some" or "most" when speaking of mammals.
The mind of man is an amazing thing. The mind of an animal is still just that, the mind of an animal.

As A. J. Heschel (1965) said, whereas a theory about the stars never becomes part of the being of the stars, a theory about human beings "enters our consciousness, determines our self-image, and modifies our very existence. The image of man affects the nature of man...We become what we think of ourselves."

Are you just "an evolved animal" or a man?

yawn Just another tired critique of the fact that people usually believe their beliefs - whether they be evolution or creation or some amalgam of the two. The difference between an evolutionist and a creationist is that the former reaches his beliefs on a preponderance of the empirical evidence, while the latter just reaches his beliefs - evidence be damned.
