My biggest motivation for creating my own blogs was to avoid the arbitrary censorship practiced by other blogs and various other Internet forums. Censorship will be avoided in my blogs -- there will be no deletion of comments, no closing of comment threads, no holding up of comments for moderation, and no commenter registration hassles. Comments containing nothing but insults and/or ad hominem attacks are discouraged. My non-response to a particular comment should not be interpreted as agreement, approval, or inability to answer.

New category for religious attiitude toward evolution:secularism

Religious attitudes towards evolution go by various names--theistic evolution,creationism ,New atheism, accommodationism, agnosticism , etc. Now I propose a new category ,secularism, that represents the complete absence of any religious attitude towards evolution (even agnostics have some kind of attitude towards the relationship between religion and evolution). I always wanted evolution and intelligent design to be like that
