i just had a moment to read through this thread (which i saved when it came
through)

i dont usually say anything - but i am again struck by the extent to which
the issue of belief plays in our lives. so much discussion revolving around
these issues - so much conviction from so many people.

what i find most facinating is that belief (abstract as it is [i suppose
that we could engage in a discourse on whether or not belief is abstract])
has such an influence on how we live our lives - more specifically - how we
make our decisions, and how we raise our children, how we form
communities......

belief is very powerful - indeed.

Roy:
I love this thread of conversation.  Nothing
gets the juices flowing like a discussion on
politics or religion (probably because nothing
can be proved absolutely either way).  I could
offer the creationists some very good arguments,
but Indigo was right--it's time to move on to
another subject.

Anyway, to answer your question, the Field Museum
in Chicago had a wonderful dinosaur exhibit a few
years ago that also explored how life began in the
oceans.  At the end of the exhibit was a board where
visitors could post their comments. That could have
been an exhibit in itself.  I don't know if the
exhibit is still there as it was probably 5 years
ago when I was there.
