To: D Edmund Joaquin; All

I am a Christian by the way but I find myself not as invested in the whole creationism/Darwin controversey. Its the problem of no one really "being there". None of us was really "there" at the beginning, so we can only posit what happened from fossils and erosive wear factors as well as argon/ radon (?) testing.(I know carbon testing is good at most for about 10k years but I forgot the name of the other testing they do). Yet, I believe God created it all, at whatever time he did it!

Both Creationists and Evolutionists have good points and arguements for their own positions and against those of the other. And no one on either side wants to listen to the other.

Meanwhile, the anti-religious who are not all well versed in Evolutionary science, have tried to couple the science with political and social movements designed to undermine classical western culture by casting aspersions against its Judeo Christian underpinnings.

Most evolutionary scientists just want to study life and the processess that created it. The politically lawless of character want to bring back the notion of Lex Talionis(law of the jungle...rule of tooth and claw) using Evolution as the driving wedge between man and the notion of the Divine.

I think a truce could be drawn between religious folk and science folk if both groups would stop to examine just who the folks are that really driving the conflicts between science and faith. It ain't necessarily true scientists that are raising the havoc against religion! It might just be that smug anti religious editor at your local newspaper or the muck raking ACLU types!
