The link is: http://www.cin.org/jp2evolu.html The quote is: <quote> Today, almost half a century after the publication of the Encyclical, new knowledge has led to the recognition of more than one hypothesis in the theory of evolution. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory. <end quote> The whole piece separates the role of philosophy and science in answering similar sounding, but really quite different questions. Its far from anti-scientific. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
