"Ooooookay... You really need to stop reading the creationist propaganda and get out in the real world some more."

LOL! I see you spend much more time than I do on these crevo threads.

"And it has apparently escaped your notice that the *majority* of Americans who are "evolutionists" are *Christians*. I'm sorry if that punctures your cherished preconceptions, or makes your head explode."

You mean they were converted into evolutionists by the anti-Christians. Notice that I did not pose that statement in an interrogative form. It's a declarative statement of fact.

In the end, I believe this issue will be resolved in the streets, not through words or persuation or hiding behind a monitor.

My head is not exploding, but Force may eventually come out of its box, you know.

No, that's not what I mean. But thanks for sharing your fantasies with us, as well as your delusion that you can read my mind.

Yes, I noticed that. You really, really need to do reality-checks more often. The voices in your head aren't nearly as reliable as you think they are.

It's a declarative statement of fact.

I'm sure you believe that, but that hardly makes it actually a fact.

In the end, I believe this issue will be resolved in the streets,

Do I even *want* to know what you're trying to say here?

not through words or persuation or hiding behind a monitor.

Uh huh... You don't need to hide, they really aren't out to get you.

No. Science is about things that turn up when one investigates nature itself. Political and military power can only bury the truth for a time, in a place. The Church supported geocentrism over the growing evidence against it. For a time in a place, it won. Stalin supported Lysenkoism over genetics and evolution. For a time in a place, he won. However, nature was still out there to be investigated and there were no victories over that.

The evidence doesn't go away. You don't change it in the streets. The diversity of life on Earth shows common descent with variation and natural selection. If it was suppressed today and all the books were burned, someone would figure it out again in a week.
