Hmmm. Given that there is a reasonably wide breadth of opinion on lots of evolutionary elements and that there are at least a dozen different views that accept the intervention of God, this strikes me as a little narrow. I have several (maybe even lots) of Christian friends that think evolution occurred by the generally accepted mutative model. What are they? Probably a lot of them think it couldn't have happened without divine intervention becasue the odds are so terrible. In fact, I used to be one of those (before I began to reject mutation-driven speciation). What position is that??

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
