I want to explain why I reverted your edits to Objections to evolution. First (as my edit summary indicates), both instances of apologist/apologetics were accurate. Plantigna describes himself as an apologist (see his spiritual autobiography at [1]). Answers in Genesis also describes itself as an "apologetics ministry" (see [2]). Second, even though the term sounds a bit insulting, doesn't mean they actually think they have something to apologize for. Just the opposite -- it means a defender. Third, it's relevant, because if someone's mission is to defend (their conception of) Christianity, their views on evolution are likely to be influenced by this. Novalis 22:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
I updated my talk page to reply to your reply to this. Novalis 18:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
