Darwin + Genesis = "Perfectly Compatible"
According to a Catholic cardinal, Charles Darwin and the Book of Geneis are "perfectly compatible" if folks are reading the Bible correctly. That tidbit is today's fourth most-shared link among bloggers and 18th top news story, and it's only one example where bridges apparently are being built between evangelicals and those who prefer a little science with their beliefs.

John Cole at Balloon Juice calls it an "interesting coaliton"; BrothersJudd have this observation: "Forget science; argue soul."

"Someone is watching," observes Obsidian Wings; By the Bayou thinks maybe the FBI should become the DKI? President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney continue to claim "we do not torture" while arguing for stricter detainee policies.
