Don't slander and distort evolution theory any more than it already is. This statement shows an ignorant, narrow-minded attitude toward an area of science. I suggest that these kind of misleading and inaccurate statements do nothing to clarify the discussion at hand -- only inflame it!

Gathman <..!seismo!{vrdxhq|dgis}!BMS-AT!stuart> Actually people are behaving more like they have been acting until the last 90-80 years or so. The puritanical mores have never been that widespread and aren't really even today. Don't kid yourself. A few forays into the history of man and his habits might prove quite eye-opening.
