My name is Tom Tozer. I’m a lawyer in Chicago, an active member in my Church including teaching the confirmation class and co-Chairing the Weapons & Liquor Committee. (The what?) I have published a book about Godfrey Bouillion that you can find on Amazon. I’m married and have three daughters, a turtle, several “free-range” mice, five pairs of cowboy boots, and 11 pairs of sunglasses all costing less than $8 (that’s a little rule of mine).

In my admittedly significant history of reading and commenting on largely conservative blogs, I have observed this: if you discuss politics from a given perspective, you’ll get mixed commenting results, and learn little. But if you discuss a social issue which defies the left-right political spectrum, you will sometimes create an avalanche of both comments and surprising opinions, all from the same people who are reading the political junk every day but can’t be bothered to comment.
I make this comment because of Tom’s foray into the evolution/intelligent design/creationism black hole. Few posts in the places I have gone are surer to whip the commentariat into a frenzy faster than these eternal questions, and the interplay of self-declared atheists and Christians (especially), but members of other religions, too.
The theory of natural selection seems to remain a theory to me, with considerable scientific evidence to support some of the findings, and some painfully inconvenient failures, too. Like Tom, I don’t find evolution and creationism mutually exclusive, outside of the millenia old Biblical book of Genesis, read literally in modern English.
