"More likely, he's only read that one paragraph from creationist websites, rather than from the book itself."

It's very rare that a creationist has spent the time to read the entire book to catch the full weight of Darwin's theory. It's actually very easy reading; without the usual jargon that weighs down most other scientific works.

I'm reminded of a fairly recent creationist claim of having read Darwin's book, then stating that finches -- which are mentioned only three times in the work -- are a "boring subject".

I’m not a creationist (yet), but I have read the book. It’s O.K., certainly nothing to fawned over.

CarolinaGuitarman, are you from Asheville?
