I apologise. I assumed you wanted your email to make it past whatever passes for the Vatican front office and not get tossed into a crankmail bin.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Like there was a chance of making it past.

I'm thinking that the only emails that make it that far start with "I'm an incredibly wealthy individual."
"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

Well exactly, however there's a difference between a sincere attempt to at least appear rational and just turning up with the red nose and fright wig.

Apple auto correct initially changed dryesand to 'dry' 'sand'. Since it seems to fit I decided to just go with it.
