In the fragment you quoted RP uses the word "theory" to cast doubt on the fact of evolution. The omitted parts that you emphasized are "waffling" and do not contribute much of anything. The whole fragment does give a better feel for the man, (and not in a favorable sense,) but it is no great difference..
-- Mike Sulzer
How do you know that? A mind reader?
I denounce the pure faith of Darwinism as taught in secondary schools in the USA, and yet believe totally in evolution. The "evolution" taught today is theory, and one of many. We see a large amount of evidence for saltation, and yet that is not allowed as it runs counter to the "faith of Darwin". I reject the faith of the fundamentalist christian church, as well as the Church of Charles Darwin.
But the real question is: why did Sullivan feel the need to change Ron Paul's words. You would be hoping mad if I quoted you in a similar way on some hot button issue. No?
Besides, is his personal faith of any importance compared to bringing our troops home from around the world? Are we saying, "fuck peace" --- what about matters of faith?
