As always good links. I had to laugh about the link to why people in the UK are leaving Christianity. I don't mean this in a bad way- just that who doesn't love Buffy?
As for failing to teach evolution, that piece was outstanding, I may do a blog piece on it. To not teach evolution is an act with far reaching and totally negative results.
As you know I have no issue with evolution and my other (ahem) beliefs. Of course, I am not a literalist.
Also enjoyed the link to the de Grey piece. You know that I am fascinated by this (I have yet to complete that other post that I emailed you about) topic.
In some ways, you know I find it as hard to grasp as you might find what I believe in.
Yet you know me well enough by now to see that I read on and press against all things.
If one does not, how does one learn or grow?
Thanks as always for your exhaustive and comprehensive link posts.
