I, for one, have found the evolution-creation exchange interesting,
educational, and appropriate for Tweeters. "...this poison...", etc. are
value judgments, and I do not favor any form of censorship (or banning)
of Tweeter contributors (on either side of this or any other relevant
issue) for their participation in our forum. To be informed does not mean
one has to agree. There are a lot of things I know about that I do not
happen to agree with.......but we should all try to understand what the
concept of evolution (and the nature of science) is and is not. That's
what basic education is all about.
