Can you be objective about evolution?

>>Why continue to rail on this reflector about the excesses of secular
publishers when they are not in attendance? <<

Steve, please don't paint my posts with your emotional paintbrush
(really... railing?).

Besides, I didn't claim these to be excesses of the publishers. Simply
stated, my point was that school textbooks were not objective and that
as a whole, evolutionists were doing very little about it. I simply
expanded on Steve Jones' post on the subject of evolutionists and their
objectivity.

>> Why not talk about the problem of Theological Correctness in Christian
publishing circles since those who have a chance to make an influence
are those who participate on this reflector?<<

Because you an I are talking about objectivity of evolutionists in
school textbooks. Whether that is preaching to the choir or not...

>>Art's original challenge was:

AC>...I would be very interested if any of you who espouse evolution
>can think of evidences against your theory. I can certainly think
>of plenty against my theory of origins...Are any of you brave enough
>to accept the challenge?<<

and Steve, you've responded...

>>"Are you willing to examine yourselves and your churches?" If you are
unwilling to be accountable in this way, then by what right to point
your accusing finger outward?<<

and then...

>> Frankly, dealing with the excesses of Christian Orthodoxy regarding
science, particularly evolution, would facilitate our request for more
responsible handling of popular science since it would remove a major
reason why our opponents are reticent to consider what we ask.<<

In other words, that which you label Christian Orthodoxy needs to clean
its act up first to your satisfaction before evolutionists have a
reason to be objective? Evidently, truth is not important, only who
goes first.

Doesn't your argument really validate Steve Jones' and Art's assertions?
