RE: Why Don't Christians refer to god as yahweh

I am under the impression that YHWH does not appear in the NT (unless you're a JW, where they added it something like 260 times). Even the quotes from the OT would have used 'god' in place of YHWH, didn't they?

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
