I just found a quote while looking for something else. It is something I have tried to say to Pete, but never quite so succinctly.

"If religious fundamentalists actually understood evolution, they would try to give God credit for it." Paul Lutus

My point to Pete is basically that I don't mind this! As long as they understand THAT it works, it is fine with me if they choose to believe where it started. I don't agree with that 'easy out' guessing, but I can live with it.
