Alan,

Many of us on the net (including you) tend to be brief
in our postings because of time constraints and other
reasons.  Let me expand on what Sagan said in the Cosmos
series (from memory) on ...Evolution is Fact.

Carl was NOT talking about the well known phenomenon
of micro evolution (bacteria et al.).  He made it very
clear that MACRO EVOLUTION IS FACT.<EOF>

He also made it clear that those of who turned to "religion"
(Oh how I hate that word) for cosmological explanations or
just plain eternal comfort were basically deluding ourselves.

Carl indicated that "Real Men and Women" face the unknown of
the Cosmos and how we all came from "starstuff" with a stiff
upper lip.  We who are "Real" ask the tough questions and go
it alone.

It was all truly inspirational for someone who believes in
the deity of man.

Anyway, if this discussion continues should we do it thru
the mail or in another group ?  Are we straying too far from
net.rel..relig..religion (whew I got it out) ?

Any complaints from significant others:-) ?
