      Make up your mind already? Do you want to be spoon fed the children's version or learn how scientists actually view evolution? I'll...

      A statement that nearly all biologists would agree with, and one that does absolutely nothing to support your rejection of...

      Not all of the Steves are biologists -- I wasn't when I signed it (although I am now, more or less).

      Among those with genuine PhDs in relevant fields, the number who reject common descent is really, really tiny. Vanishingly small. Go...

      He specifically says that he's thinking of God creating through evolution. I think you're conflating two orthogonal kinds of...
