Vernon: ::
<<I detect in your posting of Fri 4 Sep some sympathy with Richard
Dawkins', "It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who
claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or
insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)." Is that how you
really see things?>>

Given the evidence supporting evolution that would indeed be a reasonable description. Although, mislead could be another adjective used here.

Vernon: <<Again, you appear to be suggesting that the Scriptures actually support
an evolutionary scenario! I should be grateful if you would explain this. >>

The question is: Do the scriptures exclude evolution as a possibilty and if so, why would God present us with so much data indicating evolution ?

Vernon: <<Finally, perhaps you will allow me to put Colin Patterson's now famous
question to you, viz "Can you tell me anything you know about evolution
that is true?" One example will suffice.>>

Evidence supporting evolution is found in the fossil record.

Can you tell me something about evolution that is false. After all science deals far better with falsification
