Marsha,

If you are going to disconnect "evolution" as having anything to do with the
now dead human Darwin, his theory, animals such as the squirrel currently
setting on my deck rail eating an acorn or me, and instead claim that
"evolution" is only something the philosophical theory called the MoQ does
you are in a supra-natural world I have no experience or knowledge of. Just
like I have no experience with or knowledge of God.

But I will defend your right to believe in that supra-natural world as long
a you don't try to force me to genuflect to some MoQ icon in your garden.
