Indeed. And thank you for all the work you guys do too, M&M, in this tiny global village of ours.
Just wanted to add one thing about Kevin's initiative: not many catholics realise that the RC church fundamentally altered her stance towards evolution some years ago. Rome seems to have left Saligao behind! Quote: "Pope John Paul II stated in 1996: “[N]ew scientific knowledge has led us to realize that the theory of evolution is no longer a mere hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory” (Message to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on Evolution, October 23, 1996)."

Hope the project goes well. http://membercentral.aaas.org/blogs/aaas-serves/hike-back-geological-time?page=0,0 Thanks for this link on Kevin Saldanha. We need more info on what low profile, unsung Saligaokars are doing here and worldwide. Saligaonet will also come alive much more, instead of hearing the same old bleats from the same old 'bokde'...like us! Here is more on KS: http://www.goanvoice.org.uk/ After checking out the URL you sent, two of Kevin's clan suddenly sprung up saying that they are proud to be related to him...with an unstated claim that they are his sisters! We really have to do some genetic snooping around or DNA sequencing to verify this one. But jest aside, all of Saligao ought to be proud of Kevin. And if his village and family are proud of being related to him, how do you think we feel, living in their house?! Kevin's hike may look like a simple, innocuous fun trek, but it is a very creative way of teaching the most profound truths of human history. And if we do not study *this* book of genesis, Kevin Saldanha's warning will truly become prophetic: “We’re destroying that web of life that we’re intricately connected to. As those connections are breaking down, we’re putting humanity at risk.” Warm regards and solidarity.
