[MD] Intellect v. Social (Main Event)

[ian glendinning]

Good spot Arlo,

The (non-evangelical) protestant intellectual is further quoted at the end ...

"Mbua, a Protestant, is a little taken aback at the controversy but
has no problems reconciling her own faith to the scientific evidence.
"Evolution is a fact," adds Mbua, who has run the department for the
last five years."

So there is still hope ... such views are "killing" inappropriate faith.
