Another literalist?

"I want the full portrait of evolution and the people who came up with the ideas to be presented. It's a worldview and it's godless. Atheism has been tried in various societies, and they've been pretty criminal domestically and internationally. The Soviet Union, Cuba, the Nazis, China today: they don't respect human rights...Columbine, remember that? They were believers in evolution. That's evidence right there."
— NH state Rep. Jerry Bergevin, on his bill requiring schools to include evolution scientists' positions on atheism

There was one part in the movie Religulous that I especially loved. A CATHOLIC PRIEST, one that works at/with the VATICAN OBSERVATORY, said on-camera that the Bible was written before the Age of Reason and the application of critical thinking and cannot be taken as literal truth.

And Columbine? Really? What does two wacko teens shooting up a school have to do with Creationism vs Evolution?

When I look out my window... (or at least my back door from my chair)

I see ZERO white. It's been in the upper 40's the last couple of days, today it's over 50. There is no snow visible in the trees outside the back door. I know the forest floor is another story, as is the front "yard", such as it is. Saying "front copse" just sounds a little weird.

Love it! I know (or at least fervently hope!) that we'll be getting more snow, but it looks like bright and sunny for the next week or so.
