I feel we are a community here and as such we have a right and responsibility to respectfully challenge each other and ourselves to confront the issues which affect us. I'll admit that I got tired of the "evolution of intelligent design" debate long before it subsided. After I'd heard enough I stopped opening posts with that topic. That too is our right. I wouldn't want to put anyone in a position where they felt unwelcome to state their beliefs.
