I haven't had time to read the second article yet, but the first one was ... interesting. It's unfortunate that it was so condescending to religion, though. She could have made her points without reducing herself to taunting.

I was glad, however, to see this little blurb:
Quote:
Indeed, many [scientists] are quick to point out that the Catholic Church has endorsed the theory of evolution and that it sees no conflict between a belief in God and the divinity of Jesus and the notion of evolution by natural selection. If the pope is buying it, the reason for most Americans' resistance to evolution must have less to do with religion than with a lousy advertising campaign.


I think most people who don't believe in evolution are unaware that the pope of the Catholic church (who is seen as one heck of a theologian, even by non-Catholics) declared that evolution isn't a problem for the church. That's a message that needs to get out there. But, as the above excerpt states, evolution needs a better ad campaign.
