  • Creation vs Evolution or Does It?

    Updated: 2012-02-14 09:02:13
    Charles Darwin's February 12 birthday has a way of refueling the debate between Evolutionists and Creationist. However I don't see the controversy. Intelligent design and the evolutionary process seem completely complimentary. Imagine bothering to create creation without the ability to adapt. The result would be in built-in extinction.

    The recent vandalism of a gurdwara (Sikh house of worship) in Michigan is a sad reminder of the persistence of bigotry.
