I don't know. I just wondered why it was important to repeat this phrase given that evolutionary theory was a complete unknown at the time.

We have scientifically proven micro-evolution, whereas as far as I know, macro-evolution is still an unproven theory, even if it is nearly universally accepted as fact.

What do you mean when you say "scientifically proven"? I think the science supporting the theory, especialyl at a genetic level, of macro-evolution is pretty good. You are using terms like "conclusive" and "scientifically proven". What do you mean by that?

I believe that humans evolved from primitive microscopic life forms. And I don't have any theological heartburn about it.

I don't really care about your lack of theological heartburn. What I am interested in is how in the world you arrived at this belief. Oh yeah, and are you an active member of the LDS church?

That is a completely baffling statement. Every single person who cracks open the scriptures has the prerogative to decide for themselves what is and isn't true.

Of course your last sentence is the exact question Brian preempted by his comment about heartburn that you dismissed. I guess you do care. Here is the question: how can you not believe in evolution? What rational evidence do you have that it isn't the mechanism at work in our world? Yes, I am an active memebr, in case you are worried.
