Why oh why does my email client butcher my replies so badly?

Sorry about the typo...evolution is one of my favorite topics.  Guess I got
a little excited there.  I studied it in college, but now I program...so I
don't get to talk about it much. :)

Anyway...Catholics don't tend to be creationists, at least where I grew up
they weren't.  Literal interpretation of the Old Testament was not stressed
in CCD. :)

That article you referenced is much better than the one I read last week on
K5...was from a smaller Texas newspaper I think.

Madha? Who the fuck is Madha? I'm MadhU   :)

Oh yeah, wanted to point that out as an interesting twist. He's a "devout
Catholic" according to the NYT.
