Evolutionary Christianity 
 Check out your religious beliefs and how they compare -- the test is, of course, mostly fun, but it is a good place for us to start looking at the relations between Christianity (religion) and Evolution (science).  Please take the test and record your "belief", and we will discuss this in the class.  Thanks...billspinks and daleemoore
