So where does that leave your post?
Do people in your church attack evolution?
Not that I know of. We do not usually sit around and discuss it all that much. We usually talk about stuff like, you know, feeding and clothing those in the community who are homeless, donating money to certain relief efforts in third world countries, how to deny ourselves and live for others, you know, run of the mill Christian stuff.
We leave quibbling over theories to the theorists.

I question much of what would be considered the "religious precepts of modernity".
