I must agree somewhat with Joanne that speech freedom seems to be fading into oblivion. Also objectivity seems on the wane. I am a creation-based Christian, but why should that be either a platform for, or an obstacle to discussion? The theories/facts should be able to stand/fall on their own, or am I way off base here? At least I enjoy talking about these, and trying not letting my emotions cripple the chat.

Plus who ever said science and religion are in opposition? Emotional knee jerk probably opposes both! Of course all this said IMO.....
