OH, make no mistake, you don't have to convince me of that. I already knew that. I was just shocked to hear the same kind of tired arguments I read countless times here on FR (and elsewhere) repeated by someone I *had* intellectual respect for.

It's only the obstinate among the "evangelical Christian" who refuse to accept that fact.
