[QUOTE="Mike Brown, post: 66400, member: 1310"] Re: You're welcome. Jeff, I completely agree with your first statement, but disagree that you are not trying to promote an agenda. Trying to discuss creationism and evolution as if they are in the same scientific realm is an attempt to mislead people into the christian faith. That IS the stated agenda of christian lobbying groups like the "Discovery Institute". Teach the controversy? There is no controversy among scientists.
