I saw a post to Twitter about the Catholic Church and Dawrin’s theory of evolution. The twitterer is an evangelical- sometimes extreme- christian blog, where members can post. Everytime I start to wonder why I’m following it, something like this comes up and I am glad that I am. Now the blogger gets some of it right and some of it… not so much.

Commentary on Dobson and Focus on the Family
While I usually post this type of stuff to my other blog, thomascwaters.com, I thought this was really appropriate here. Â Focus on the Family bases its message on christian values and the Bible.
