I find it disappointing that I have to agree with the ID stuff getting

majority
of Christianity) are causing the body of believers to be painted with

Evolution is not a faith. If you were as scientifically based as you
state, you'd never even make such a claim.


Correct - and I did not call evolution a faith. I referred to
evolution-only. That position requires as much faith as a creation faith.
It's the old argument of the starting point.


evolution does not address the starting point. it addresses the
process of change.
