Fifty students in Nashville, Tennessee, stand in front of a gathering of Baptist ministers to make a pledge: "Believing that true love waits, I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, those I date, my future mate and my future children to be sexually pure until the day I enter a covenant marriage relationship...
...THEORY OF EVOLUTION SUGGESTS THAT THE deepest drive of all living things is the urge to perpetuate their genes. How that's done varies widely from species to species.
