Evolution fully adopted ensures that the vast majority of people will find Genesis rejectable on a rational level.

One doesn't need the TOE to reject Genesis on a rational level. One just needs to be rational.

"One just needs to be rational."

I know, I am told this over and over and over. In truth, I used to be as wedded to this idea as you seem to be.

It was terribly disorienting to discover that rationalism, is indeed, just another way to think. I used to think it was the only way to properly think, and all other ways of thinking were irrational. It was comfortable, I'll have to say....

I like the rationalism of God lots better, even though at times it is less comfortable. Only he calls it 'wisdom'. It is not referred to as 'wising up' for nothing...
