Peter, it's only delicate because there is an age-old difference of opinion (at least here in the USA) on the subject of evolution; there is the scientific opinion and the religious opinion. I don't know why, but the two sides will never see eye to eye nor 'agree to disagree'.
Thank you Tammy! That exactly explains why its a delicate subject!

On the topic of delicate subjects, I wish posters would stop referring to or implying that the earth is round. We all know the Earth is flat and at the center of the universe. It offends my religious beliefs if you state otherwise. Thanks you in advance.
Hawk you just ain't right!!

You can have your Flat Earth, so long as I can have my Spontaneous Generation unquestioned as well.

We laugh at such things, but that was the scientific theories at the time just as Evolution is the scientific theory of this time. As we as a society we learn more, these theories change.
Heck, when I was a kid I was taught that Pluto was a planet, now its just a rock.

that was the scientific theories [sic] at the time just as Evolution is the scientific theory of this time
Unfortunately the words "theory" and "belief" both have not just ambiguous but wildly conflicting meanings. "Evolution" was a theory when it was introduced, but it has since been substantiated by a vast body of observed evidence, and more importantly no evidence has been found that contradicts it. Like many mathematical theorems it cannot be "proven" as such, but the weight of evidence supporting it is now massive. It is no longer a "theory" in the sense you mean, even though it still bears that moniker. It qualifies for the description "scientifically proven fact" as much as (say) the 'theory" of sound transmission through air or the "belief" that the earth is near spherical rather than flat. That is why I was careful not to use the word "believe" in the context of evolution in my original question - I may "believe" in something for which I have seen no evidence, that being purely an act of faith, but my "belief" that the ground is hard is well supported by the observed facts that it supports buildings and hurts when I fall down (damn that Belikin!).

Peter, while we can debate this on end, you are treading on areas that will offend some people here by some of your statements above. Please return this discussion to PMs.
