They simply object to wild extrapolations beyond observable limits of genetic variability. Don't hide behind the cloak of science when it's clear that you're an evolution evangelist. Dwayne Spies Chilliwack, Canada Opus Dei and Faith Thank you very much for your objective reporting on the controversial Roman Catholic society Opus...
