. what I'm trying to say is that moderates can at the same time be intelligent and reasonable, but also be as dumb as a dodo. (If you'll pardon the stereotype about dodo birds.) This isn't restricted to just moderates--it happens to pretty much every...  [Read More]

'Creationism' is not properly used here. It is a belief, not an act. That belief revolves around the universe having been created by act of divine creation (I know it sounds identical, but it's not) rather than through nature or evolution. What you p...  [Read More]

Genesis isn't a science book, and never was meant to be. The Hebrew is fluid in its meaning of 'day', for instance--it can mean a literal 24 hour day or it can mean an unspecified long period of time, sort of like when we say "back in my grandfa...  [Read More]
