I thought I hadn't posted that yet and I hadn't finished it (I did enjoy the fish finger wrap in between!)

Dunno how appropriate is to get too deeply here into the details of modern developments, interesting and exciting though they are. The lamentable fact is that over half the US population don't think that evolution is the best explanation for life on earth. Four in ten US Catholics don't think it either. Seems that dads like Joe give up a little too easily. If a person thinks that God created everything, that person has actually stopped thinking. That is so sad. The truly exciting thing is to recognise that the truth is out there for the taking. It takes a lot more mental wrestling than believing in God, but think of the rewards. Chaucer said it well:

The life so short,
The craft so long to learn,
The assay so hard,
So sharp the conquering,
