For most people the theory of evolution is neither scientific nor metaphysical - it's psychological. Some people like to think that they were evolved. Some people like to think that they were created. The first kind of people are disgusted by the thought of divine intervention in their genealogy. The second kind are disgusted by the thought of apes in their genealogy. Me? I'm not a descendant, I'm an ancestor. -- Col. G. L. Sicherman ...{rocksvax|decvax}!sunybcs!colonel
