They're baaaaaack...
And I'd begun to think that the Jehova's Witnesses had given up on me. Alas, that was too good to be true. This time a couple of new ones came by with their latest propaganda. They're definately comparing notes; they were trying to explain to me how science didn't conflict with Genesis, or at least "the Biblical days aren't the same as our days."

Personally, I feel that the theory of evolution speaks far more highly of the so-called "intelligent designer" than the "everything was designed down to the last detail" theory, which, frankly, isn't particularly flattering. Which is more elegant; a self-perpetuating emergent system built on a handful of rules (such as weak atomic force), or the supposition that my cat cum ottoman was intelligently designed?
