Yes, as a matter of fact I am. But besides that, I wasn't *attacking* Darwin
or evolution; I was just stating that some people have used Darwinian ideas to
promote dangerous causes. And if the human genome is as revolutionary as it
is, I would expect a complete overhaul of what we know and what we believe (in
hypothetical areas as opposed to factual).
Personally, I'm excited about the future now. And if you're wondering, I do
not take a position of absolute Biblical literalism. A lot of people in my
culture (Texas, at the buckle of the "Bible Belt" in America) do hold to a
literal belief in creation in six days, a young earth (6,000 years old), a
global flood (and not merely a regional flood), and so on and so on and so
on...
