Re: Cobb County

Let's see. I have recently come across controversy about the origin of
AIDS, about the use of polio vaccine (and the consequent spread of polio
to several African countries where it has been controlled), about cell
phones and high tension lines, infant vaccines and autism, and probably
others.

the germ theory of disease, relativity, or plate tectonics? No, because
none of these challenges the Authority of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures
as the revealed word of God. Furthermore, as far as I am aware, evolution
is the only theory that comes with a built-in _imperative_. By that I
mean, You _must_ believe this to be true - otherwise how can you possibly
be trusted to think and behave rationally? Again, the fact that its
proponents want to suppress all healthy scientific skepticism of it
suggests that they believe certain aspects are better kept hidden.
