I'm reading "The Leader's Handbook" by Peter Scholtes; note not 'leader' as in "we don't have ministers any more, but leaders" in the church (man, talk about lapping up the world and its ways), but 'leader' as in, I'm trying to do my day job better and better: a recommended read for anyone in business.
From page 18 a telling quote:
"a list of revolutionary thinkers that includes, among many others . . .Darwin (we are not specially created, only the most advanced of the life forms)"
I think he gets it. The direct implication of Darwin's legacy (and he is the beneficiary of the Epicurean's legacy) is that the specialness implied in Genesis is erroneous. He gets it, zillions of others get it, humanism relies upon it, Finnish teenagers act on it. Sydney Anglicans . . . but, but, but, they can only "but" along while they fail the test and keep the liberating truth from people! Makes one wish they were a Baptist!
By way of reference: Evolution and Epicureanism

That is a great book. I am a bit biased as Peter is a friend - www.pscholtes.com/pscholtes. You also might be interested to know he wrote "They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love" - http://blogs.citypages.com/pscholtes/2005/09/an_interview_with_peter_r_scho.php
