And the people who object to the disclaimer are arguing about something the disclaimer doesn't say.

The people who want the disclaimer don't know what evolution is. But they don't like it anyway. Ignorant people shouldn't have their way in such matters.

Just so you'll know, there is currently an evolution thread under way in the religion forum: Vatican accepts evolution as fact. That's not news to us.

It has long been an unofficial policy of the evolution advocates that, as a matter of courtesy, we don't participate in religious threads to argue scientific issues, because many who enjoy the religion forum would regard our information as unwelcome, and possibly disruptive. It may be a double standard, but that's how it is. For myself, I plan to leave the religion forum's thread alone.

Yeah. The disclaimer is a bit verbose. They could have made a more direct statement about the scope of evolution theory that everybody would agree with. "Evolution theory does not address the origin of life." I don't know if proponents of evolution have other agreeable statements, like whether or how plants and animals are related by evolution, etc.

BS. We know exactly what evolution is. It's that we aren't so ignorant as to accept everthing the evolutionists imagine at face value that has you wanting to silence the debate and present only one side of the facts.

That idiotic disclaimer assumes that we all think evolution is more than a theory. Proof that insulting our intelligence is not restricted to the Left.
