Form letter for ID proponents who write me

Dear friend,

Thank you so much for your response to my Press Register essay. After spending so much time up to now replying to each one, I feel I have already said enough from my own personal perspective, and should allow you to hear voices other than my own – especially those who have more expertise in the details of the evolution-religion dialogue.

Proponents of ID claim to be in favor of presenting all sides of an argument. If this is true, then the other side of the ID argument should also be explored. Anyone can do this by checking information and resources from sources not affiliated to ID groups. Below are a few online resources to get you started. Most of these links contain even more links and resources as well. Feel free also to investigate the groups behind these postings.

Sincerely,
Albert A. Gapud
