evolution isnt something that you "beleive in" its just fact,weather we accept it or not.

[GodDiscussion]

@smashbeans Thanks for the heads up and yes, I agree with you. I guess saying something like "believe in the factual validity of evolution" or something like that gets me a bit tongue tied so, like a few of us, we just use the phrase, "believe in." Hope you didn't think I was implying that it was a belief such as a religious belief. I'll have to come up with some kind of a phrase to capture the idea.

@smashbeans The chat makes it fun! It's a shame that so much of the transcript was lost.
