tisk, tisk, you bring up good points about the esploitation of Islam...every time I start talking about evolution to a muslim, they will blurt out even before thinking, ``huh? We didn`t come from monkies.`` When you explain hard core evidence to them such as evolving bacterial strains, adding mutations (punctuated equilibrium), of fossils, radio active carbon dating, or of just looking at a layers of sedimentary rock and looking at what fossils fall in which layer...they will give you lank stares and say, ``huh? We didn`t come from monkies...adam and eve...blablabla``...Christianity has been exploited relentlessly by the Church financially...I guess Islam is unfortunately getting a taste of that as well.
