I had never heard of him (or was he that guy mentioned in the "was darwing wrong?" issue of the nat. geo. magazine?) I'll see if I can get one of his books.[b said:Quote[/b] ]I disagree with both him and you on the suggestion that evolution and religion are inherently incompatible
I don't think RELIGION is inherently incompatible with evolution (I don't see how buddhism (sp) contradicts evolution) but that christianity is, unless you totally twist everything the bible says. Yeah, I've heard all the rationalizing they've done about a "day" meaning a period of time and not just 24 hours, blah blah, but I don't buy it.
oh and about the bees, the book said that: "native North American bees do not have barbed stingers and may therefore sting more than once". I'm guessing not all NA bees are solitary, so it's not because of that.
