I was thinking the other day, that in Christianity there is room for evolution, but in Evolution there is no room for Christianity.

It would seem to me to be completly the other way round. It's the religious people out there who are continually assaulting evolution. But I do not see scientists assaulting Christianity (except perhaps in their own personal opionions, NOT as scientists).

I've recently had occasion to have had close, ongoing (professional) dealings with probably the premier paleontologist in the world. He does alot of work for the magazine with the topless natives...

Were I a better man I would have smacked him for the mocking derision with which he ridiculed 'creationists'... I consider mysef a believer, but I'll not shout down someone with a case and a legitimate point of view.

He certainly gave me no insight into his science; in fact it made me believe his scientific zealotry of the theory of evolution was political, rather than out of any real basis in fact or empirical study. The limited exposure to his science that I had (probably more than most but certainly not rendering me any particular level of genius) was that he and his cohorts were Flaming marxists soaking off of an academic payroll.

What I'm getting at is that the 'science' of evolution seems to me to be as subjective as the 'faith' of Creationism, and given my 'druthers, I'll go with God.
