The poorly educated always take the word "evolution" to mean "did man come from monkeys?" Surely this is the problem the Georgia people have.
In fact, that close species can evolve isn't, I think, too controversial. Take mammouths and elephants. Clearly, there was evolution there.
What is really the problem with "evolution" replacing "Creationism" entirely is the existance of several points like I mention, which require a "miracle."
My pet peeve here is that the less well-washed accept anything a scientist says as Gospel truth. That why we have the periodic bizarre global warming screeds from San Fransico posters.
My overall goal on this board is not to change any of these people's mind to vote for Republicans. My simple goal here is to get you all to recognize that much science should be questioned, and not accepted mindlessly.
You blindly accept a scientific theory to denounce someone else, who blindly accepts religious theory. I don't mean to be snotty, but to allow this to stand would harm my broader agenda.
