RussB, you've made me laugh. In my high school, 'biology exams to which the answer to all answers is "the constant will and intervention of Yahweh causes it" ' were status quo. We memorised the Baltimore catechism: 'Who made us? God made us. Why did God make us? To know love and serve Him in this life & be happy with Him in the next.' I can't personally decide whether that's right or wrong but it works for some people.

As someone raised in that way, though, I've never objected to religious people calling at my door and trying to convert me, because I believe they are genuinely trying to save my soul (and I'm up early with my kids anyway). I kind of take it as a compliment.
