This is a blog detailing the creation/evolution/ID controversy and assorted palaeontological news. I will post news here with running commentary.

Just When I had Almost Given Up...
I had a conversation with a friend of mine from church tonight at a New Year's Eve party in which he expressed sympathy for the theistic evolutionary perspective. I honestly thought I was the only one at my church. I just don't talk about it.
I'm happy for you. I just survived the 9 day arrival of my in-laws for whom if they discovered I accepted evolution would retroactively cancel my nine years of marriage (have I used that joke enough, it shows up on every blog). All of my favorite books were taken off my shelf and put in a box in my closet. I avoided all of these websites lest my internet history was tracked. So sad that recognizing reality can bring such judgment. I hope I don't do this to my future children and their spouses on some belief I don't realize myself is totally wrong.
I am very sorry to hear that. Thank you very much for sharing it. You want to yell at them, "just look through the dang telescope. How hard can that be?" How does your wife feel?
