Daniel Deen: Thank God for Evolution

Yeah, the baggage is really hard to sort through and really makes any sort of genuine conversation difficult. I have recently learned of how deep some of that baggage runs when discussing my post among my own tribe. However, the problem is universal to any public discussion of a topic sensitive or not-sensitive. Look at how many conversations on this forum have had to slow down and rework redefine the Darwinism vs Neutral Evolution concepts for us all. I’ll grant that the baggage tends to get a bit more emotional in the public realm during a conversation about science/religion in an apologetic context, but one must continue to converse in the conversations we find ourselves in and continually “come to terms” with each other. That seems key to start sorting through the baggage. But, I will admit that it is exhausting, mentally taxing work.
