There are lots of people I get along with just fine although we have differing views on any number of subjects, and/or issues that one of us may be sensitive about. We happen to respect each other enough to either avoid those subjects or discuss them with some degree of caution. It's not as if there is such a shortage of things to do or talk about that we're forced into an uncomfortable situation.
If you can respect me that much, we'll be just fine.

"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."
