I was going to say that lots of people seem to take a literal view of the biblical story of creation, and they seem to be very nice people, for the most part. But I guess I have to admit I don't know anybody who rejects the idea of evolution, except for a few people I've met online.

Still, it seems to me that a person's thinking about evolution or the lack thereof, is just not all that important. Most people who are not ideologically inclined, can go for years without thinking about evolution at all.

I want my children to know about evolution and accept it as reality, because that's what literate people do. I suppose I see rejection of evolution as a sort of illiteracy, but I don't see it as an evil thing. If I come across illiterate people, I try to be polite and to work around the shortcomings brought about by that illiteracy.

Now, Pete isn't going to like that any more than what he gets from all the people who want to do battle with him.
