I am not trying to drag out the whole evolution issue. This letter is geared at the way Eric Hiatt wrote his letter in the Sept. 1 Daily. Behe was not a creationist nor an evolutionist. His book was geared at disproving Darwin. Evolution is not a scientific fact, it is merely a theory. It has not been proven.

Letters should be written to express different opinions. Some people attack others in their letters.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion, and the Constitution of the United States gave us the freedom to express our opinions without the fear of being attacked for them.

Hiatt’s letter was an attack on creationists because of their belief, not on the belief itself.

As a Christian and a creationist, I have the right to hold and express my beliefs, as do atheists, evolutionists, or any other group.

Just because your opinion may differ from someone else’s doesn’t give you the right to attack that person.

The fact I believe in creation instead of evolution does not make me ignorant, just because you believe in evolution. What if I went around telling everyone the same things about evolutionists? Is that right?

If you want to convince people that what you believe is true, you’re not going to do it by attacking their beliefs and opinions. Hiatt’s letter offended me more than it inspired me to go out and read the “thousands of volumes of literature” on evolution as he suggested creationists should do.
