| Introduction | I am a Roman Catholic in my first year of the PhD program in Systematic Theology at Notre Dame. My interests lie in the areas of systematic theology and philosophy in the Thomist, Communio, and Continental traditions. I am also a dilettante Scripture scholar dabbling in hermeneutics, historical Jesus research, and theological exegesis. I also dig prayer, spirituality, martial arts, non-martial arts, literature, movies, Irish music, amber ales, and conversations of Socratic caliber. Pax Christi, |

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
Course not. Richard Dawkins created spoons and forks immediately, exactly as they are.
