Here's a story I stumbled onto today. I thought it was an interesting take between an evolutionist and a creationist. It'd be nice if we could all get along like these two.

Don't forget to look thru the comments after the article as well. They're pretty interesting too.

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY jim_ghote) I have to admit this, but I'm not too ashamed to do so: I subscribe to the newsletter that Way of the Master sends out once in a while. At times it is ok in content, even though these guys go the distance in the "You're not a real Christian if you don't pester pedestrians" type of outlook.

I believe somebody intentionally is misconstruing the term transitional for their own devices.
