There is a difference between wanting Roe v. Wade repealed and being pro-life.

Also, I do distinguish between the terms evolutionist and Darwinist.

There is also a debate of different between Darwin and those Darwinist who hijack Darwin theories.

Was Darwin an atheist, an agnostic or a Christian. Why do people make such a bid deal out of this?

Would like to hear you expand on that.

I am opposed to abortion but I believe it can best be ended by working from the ground up, changing hearts one at a time, and returning the legislative control of this issue to the states.

The polls show that public opinion is changing, and abortion mills are closing every year.

There seem to be a lot of Freepers who think we can short cut this through the political process, but when I press them they are always short on specifics.

I reject "Darwinism" as it applies to recorded human history. There is no evidence that I'm any more intelligent or any more ethical than the average ancient Egyptian, medieval Frenchman, or Cro-Magnon cave painter.

But I do think the basic concept of natural selection as it applies to the formation of animal and plant species is completely sound.

My personal opinion is that the history of life on Earth may indeed have been guided by a creator. But the evidence in the ground would then lead to the conclusion that that creator took a billion or so years to do so, and left a lot of false starts along the way.
