7. You would like to see the demise of creationism as an aid to soul
saving.

8. You say that evolution is a natural phenomenon and is used by God but
this is not ID.

I did intend to make comments on the above, but there is no need.

the
followers of Mary Baker Eddy who claimed that pain was nonexistent
until she had a toothache.
