==You know, I am a Christian, and I am a biologist / biochemist. One does not preclude the other.
Who said being a Christian is incompatable with being a biologist/biochemist? Certainly not me. However, I could point you to a mountain of replies by Darwinists who claim that Creationists and IDers are not pacticing science, and are therefore not “real” scientists.
Like it or not, the Creation/ID/TOE debate is both scientific and political. Indeed, so political that our presidential candidates are being asked pointed questions as to where they stand on this issue at the nationally televised debates. Even President Bush has weighed in on the subject. In short, this is a very important issue to millions of Americans on both sides of the political divide. And I for one am taking a stand...and it will most certainly be one of the criteria I take into consideration when I step into the ballot box in ‘08.
