I think what strikes me the most is the sheer callousness poorly masked as a peppy call for reaffirmation. It's just breathtaking.

The very first one he posts is "James 4:7: Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." So is the claim that the devil invented the flu, or that the flu is the devil? If it's the former, has the writer of the article ever been ill? Wink Shades

"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
