Tonight my dad, brother and I spent more than two hours debating discussing the issue of evolution and intelligent design.

It wasn’t as bad as it sounds.

My brother is an atheist. And not just a regular, “I’m-to-cool-for-religion” kind of atheist, the hostile kind who just lives to find a way to argue his way through any objection. I’m pretty sure he would agree with this assessment. Anyway, somehow we got into a discussion about ID vs. evolution and whether ID was a legitimate science or a theological philosophy hijacked by conservative religious leaders to protect their own scientific legitimacy. It’s a worthy argument, and one we’ve never made it into, much less through.

Needless to say, I really wasn’t sure what would happen.
