First of all I did not know this. I have read disparate articles in newspapers etc., regarding the "Church"'s oppposition to evolution theory and so on but I did not know the background. Now when I read this sentence I am having massive fun seeing in my mind's eye all those grim and grave preachers preaching creation. First I read about the earth being flat and then being spherical and the "Church" persecuting the man who first rounded the earth. Now I read about the JCI monotheistic creation. What fun!

Well I should consider what has worked and put energy into this for survival. Only those offers that are good enough at getting themselves copied–the fittest–survive.
