the Huxley thing about 'We killed God off so we could screw like bunnies.' relates to the evolution thing.

Theories are tools used to explore and explain the natural world. As any tool from hammers to fire to nuclear fission, they can be used for both good or evil. That people attempt to use the theory of evolution to justify, say eugenics (a common anti-evo cannard), does not invalidate the mechanisms of variation and selection.

I also think there's more gone on--on this globe--in eons past that are not even hinted at in the fossile or any other record we have detected.

I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but you are aware that this can only be a matter of personal belief? And that because we have not detected these events, even indirectly, the realm of science must necessarily remain silent on the matter until evidence of such is brought to light?

Of course it's a matter of personal belief.

But . . . given all the evidence we have seen . . .

buried batteries in the midst of granite etc. it just wouldn't surprise me--it would surprise me more if it weren't true.

Besides, it might explain a lot of things that appear like mutually exclusive puzzles at present. No, I don't have a list.

Appreciated your msg.

What good has evolution ever been used for? Let's see ONE (1) example. There are 100 million examples of its being used for evil, and their bodies are all in graves left unmarked by the followers of Darwinism.
