Greetings!

There's much that has been said which I could chime in on but I'd like to just take one observation for the time being and discuss that.

This is an interesting remark about evolution which I've never heard before. What prompts you to say this? My reason for asking is that in the science field this ascertation is generally considered to be the exact opposite. Evolution rarely appeals to one's emotions, particularly for those adopting an atheistic stance in the field (not to say evolution and religion are incompatible, many examples prove otherwise). On an emotional level I fail to see where someone would find evolution an appealing scientific model; as regards logic and reasoning, however, it should certainly pose as an alluring topic.
