    me either. I've left lists where there was only name calling and no
    discussion. It must be interesting for the participants but it's
    *really* boring for the audience.

    Stephen is a religionist. He is usually only able to question things
    that , in his perception, don't support his religion.

    Agnostics question everything. Motives, intelligence, honest and
    sincerity are not sacred cows, above or outside what can be
    questioned.

      I am aware that the conclusions arrived at in this work will be 
denounced by some as highly irreligious; but he who denounces them is 
bound to shew why it is more irreligious to explain the origin of man 
as a distinct species by descent from some lower form, through the 
laws of variation and natural selection, than to explain the birth of 
the individual through the laws of ordinary reproduction.
