To philosophical materialists God is no more than an idea in the human mind, and not a very important idea.

Although I insist that God has always had the power to intervene directly in nature to create new forms, I am willing to be per-suaded that He chose not to do so and instead employed secondary natural causes like random mutation and natural selection.

In China we can criticize Darwin but not the government. In America you can criticize the government but not Darwin.

Most importantly, I agree that the truth of these matters should be determined by interpretation of scientific evidence - experiments, fossil studies and the like.

First, Darwinian theory tells us how a certain amount of diversity in life forms can develop once we have various types of complex living organisms already in existence.

In short, it is not that evolutionary naturalists have been less brazen than the scientific creationists in holding science hostage, but rather that they have been infinitely more effective in getting away with it.

A crush is just as simple as admiration. You get attracted to another person and time can allow feelings to grow more into something more than that.
