12. That doesn't have anything to do with evolution

Thu Jul 6, 2023, 02:45 PM

Jul 2023

I belong to a church where we believe that evolution is real and that it explains the development of the species. That's what evolution is about, although there's a lot of other pseudoscientific claptrap out there about evolution. That's what the scientist-by-training in me says.

Having said that...do we know this church is one of those disgusting ones who are polluting our politics? If so, hurray to the person who did this.

If it's like my church, which does do good with its limited funds and doesn't bilk anything out of anyone any more than any other organization that asks for donations does, then this is just rude. I can tell you at my church, we'd merely throw that out and hope that we can help the person become more open-minded.
