I’m sure my more fanatical detractors won’t like it, but I’ve received dozens of emails like this one recently, voicing support for my posts on evolution and creationism:

Hi Charles,

I am a regular reader but not a member. I just wanted to thank you so much for your posts about evolution. My entire family is horrified by my political shift after 9/11 (actually I just started really figuring out what I believe) and thinks any non-liberal is an irrational science-hating warmongering evangelical Christian who would mandate creationism in schools. I am so glad to see that there are others with a similar view of the world that I have.
