The creation/evolution debate can be pretty rough and tumble, and sometimes that can lead to anger and even bitterness.  Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who use us.  How can we do that in the world of debates when emotions get heated and our integrity is always questioned?  Join Paul and Todd as they chat about this vital topic.
