Dude, relax a bit. No need to get the blood pressure up. As a veteran of a thousand crevo wars,* take it from me -- the best you can do is put up the evidence for the lurkers and undecideds to peruse. Most of the creos on these threads haven't had an original argument in years; they go with the little bit they've got.

"Dude, relax a bit."

I do get a little worked up over this. I haven't participated in these sorts of threads long. I have already noticed the same arguments again and again. I never took anti-evolutionists seriously until a friend of mine started teaching grade school. She would go on about how much she loved teaching science, but she did not believe in evolution! This really bothered me. Our education system had obviously failed her, so what do we do? Recycle her back into the education system! What happens when kids ask good questions? She can neither answer them, nor get them interested in science since she does not understand it herself.

My own mother asks me questions like "if we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys." What do you say to that? Where do you start? That is why I don't like arguing specifics of evolution. Besides my micro biology not being up to snuff, I feel no need since the scientific community does a good job of stating its position. If we could just get people to go read it...

Thank-you though, i need to take a break. Do some christmas shopping, that'll reduce my stress level, ha!
