Hi Adam. You just happened to join the list at a time when there is a
rather acrimonious exchange going on between a few of us, but I assure
you that most of the time the discussions are quite substantive. If you
go back and look at the archive at
http://www.calvin.edu/archive/evolution/ you'll see that the discussions
are usually quite good. Welcome to the list. What school do you go to,
by the way?
Ed
