This author is very inspiring and it looks like they have a practice that could be helpful with some of the problems people sometimes express professionally in their comments.

She's good with terminology, one thing too minor to nitpick stands out, but I'll do it anyway. Maybe it will boost the submission :)

>non-evolutionists grapple with whether we will become evolutionists.

That's a valid feeling, that I have empathized with my entire life and I'm no youngster.

But it's a feeling I've never felt myself since I started out as a tiny scientist to begin with. Loved going to church though.

I feel it's good to see someone putting these feelings into words which can help anybody else get a feeling for what it feels like :)

Keep in mind that the highly-educated religious order that is credited with pioneering modern genetics had dedicated themselves to seeking truth so strongly that they were doing scientific experiments that were so rigorous they were technically sound by modern standards.

With more lifetime dedication to faith by far than you get from the less-faithful who are distracted by things like commercial evangelism.

Regardless, religion has not been the major source of advancement for centuries by now anyway.

There's just no such thing as evolutionists or non-evolutionists.

Never was. That's supposed to be plain to see. It's almost like people can get so hateful that they look at everything as if it's us vs them :(

On the one hand you've got people that have the education to learn enough about genetics and the cognition to understand how things are still evolving in real time, since like the beginning of time.

That's a lot to ask simply because genetics is not easy, and that's a lot of time so it can really take more extended cognition for so many people than about anything else.

At the other end of the spectrum you've got people that are absolutely baffled by the very concept of evolution, so much of the time due to pure superstition.

Bless their heart, they don't know any better.
