If you don't care about the subject, don't answer the question. By answering the question, you exhibit that which you believe, whether you care about it or not. > > And why would they?

But long before I was able to fulfill my life long dream, I had to attend science classes in school. When I was in those classes, I was taught evolution. > > Really, the people who get the most upset about it are the one's who > want to control what other people think and believe, and most people > just don't care about that.

If so, isn't that the game pretty much everyone is in? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:194532 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
