I stand by what I said, viz., it takes more faith to believe man evolved from apes than to simply believe Genesis 1.

As you wish. I visited the website of the Journal you mentioned: The American Scientific Affiliation. I haven't studied their material, but from their "statement of faith" and their "mission statement," it appears that they may be more interested in theology than science. For example:

"Mission I: To develop the American Scientific Affiliation as an instrument to integrate and interpret the discoveries of natural and social science with the insights which we derive from the total message of Scripture and our Christian faith."
I suspect that these people would be unlikely to follow the scientific data if it were to lead them away from a literal interpretation of scripture. Fine fellows, but probably not a leading source of cutting-edge scientific research.
