"So do American Indians. So do Hindus. So do Buddhists. Do we teach all their creation myths as part of science as well?"

Personally I wouldn't have a problem with it. I believe in the free exchange of ideas and the power of truth to prevail.


"And there is no inherent conflict between belief in Evolution and being a Christian. This is a canard you guys toss out there from time to time."

I assure you, there is. Jesus referred to Adam and Even as real, historical people.

I certainly will not. He is a private individual and not a member of FR.
