[Heartlander]

“…both creationist and evolutionary theories make historical claims about past causal events, both theories offer causal explanations that do not explain by natural law. The theory of common descent, a central thesis of Darwin's Origin of Species, does not explain by natural law. Common descent explains by postulating hypothetical historical events (and a pattern of events) which, if actual, would explain a variety of presently observed data. The theory of common descent makes claims about what happened in the past-namely, that unobserved transitional organisms existed forming a genealogical bridge between presently existing life forms. Thus, on the theory of common descent, a postulated pattern of events, not a law, does the main explanatory work.” –Dewolf

While I appreciate the quote from Mr. Dewolf, a simple Google search of this great scientific minds yields...guess what? His litany of Christian writings, including "Converting One at a time" http://147.222.27.5/people/dewolf/convert-d.htm which includes this:
Converts usually have an easy time with some aspects of the faith, and a difficult time with others. That raises the second important quality, which is a strong pastoral insight into the condition of the soul presented to the priest. The convert often has mastered some steps along the path of faith (in many cases well beyond those of a cradle Catholic). But other steps are surprisingly difficult. The pastor has to discern which steps the convert is ready for, and which to postpone for a later day. On the one hand, a convert should be expected to embrace the faith wholeheartedly, not with reservations. At the same time, there may be things that will become clear in time, as long as the fundamental disposition is correct.

Call me crazy, but as a dispassionate observer, he comes up woefully short. Mr. Dewolf is indeed an intelligent man, but the fact remains the same: No religious teaching in public schools, period. Try again.
