Re: [asa] Safina

Hi Randy,

A useful piece, I thought, particularly as it deals with one of my personal bugbears - namely the tendency for anti-evolutionists to argue as though there have been no scientific advances since Darwins' time.

On a related by tangential note:

Our Australian science/Christianity institute ISCAST was involved in a very successful commemorative service at St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne on the weekend at which the Anglican Archbishop of Melbournea, Dr Philip Freier, spoke on the interface between science and Christian belief.

It probably would have gotten a bit of media attention were it not for the bushfires currently raging in Victoria - we've had several dozen towns wiped off the map with at least 200 people dead and several thousand homeless. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Blessings,
Murray
