Sun, 13 May 2007 23:01:19 +0000 http://academicfreedomblog.org/2007/05/06/cultural-filters-for-evolution/#comment-30 Hi Don. I read this with interest and with a desire to share lots of the stuff I've learned, even though I have learned it as a science layman, albeit one with common sense. When I do try to wrangle together a sensible piece about good science, bad science, evolution, creation - it doesn't seem to turn out so sensible. Just to hint about it I work for a contractor that scores standardized tests for several states. The long answer science tests are always fun. We learn from the "mouths of babes" and also learn how they were taught their science (to use the word loosely). On another subject, a few days ago I read your testimony of your loss of faith and return to it. I thought that was very interesting and I personally am glad because I know so many former Christians and would hope those loved ones will find their faith and not only that but better than before. Thanks for what you are doing. I will keep watching this space. Joe Hi Don.
