If you find discussion of evolution, so troubling, then I'm sorry, but I find it frankly astonishing that you can stomach being on a site dedicated to a series that uses the term 'evolution' on a near-constant basis. Given that you were moved to make an account and complain about an article that used the term just ''twice'', I can't for the life of me work out how you got here.

Hi.

I'm sorry to inform you that the references to evolution will be staying exactly where they are. I'm a scientist, and treat these columns as I would a scientific paper. You want me to remove references to a well-established tenet of biological science because you personally don't wish to believe it. Consider for an moment how you'd react if I asked you to remove references to Jesus from an essay on the Bible? I'd have to assume you wouldn't be in a hurry to comply.

Furthermore, I must take issue with your assertion that you find evolution offensive because you are a Christian. Just because your particular flavour or interpretation of Christianity prevents you from accepting evolution, don't tar all Christians with that brush. I went to a Catholic school which taught evolution. My fiancée, parents and many of my professors are Christians, and none of them have a problem with evolution. They're also understandably irked when fundamentalists try to invoke mainstream Christianity to strengthen their fringe beliefs.

If you find discussion of evolution so troubling, then I'm sorry, but I find it frankly astonishing that you can stomach being on a site dedicated to a series that uses the term 'evolution' on a near-constant basis. Given that you were moved to make an account and complain about an article that used the term just twice, I can't for the life of me work out how you got here.
