While I wouldn't actually consider myself a Christian, I would say that a majority of the "Christians" I know have little complaint with evolution. They consider the Bible an example, not a rule, which seems to be a major problem with the way the bible is translated these days. Now for the flame: Creationsism is BOGUS! There are numerous people who say that evolution is obviousl;y the way life got to the point it is at now. There is ONE source that says life was "created" by some "God". Everyone else just joined the bandwagon. Why don't you "fuzzy headed fundamentalists" start to realize that while there is no positive proof for evolution, it makes a hell of a lot more sense than creationism. I guess we'll always have the people who won't pull their head out of the sand, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy Banta {decvax!allegra!ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-k!agz Dept. of Mental Instability, Purdue University --- "I'm OK, You're a CS Major" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Some of them waiting, some were standing in line, As if there was something that they thought they might find ...
