LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Hypothetically

One of the Ohio state school board's proposed curriculum rule changes is supposed to "reflect that evolution is a theory only" (Big bang in Ohio," Sept. 14). This is unfortunate wording. In scientific usage, a theory is an idea for which the evidence overwhelmingly favors its acceptance. Given the many gaps, contradictions, and alternative explanations in the evidence cited for evolution, it should be referred to as a hypothesis—a proposed explanation used as a framework for examining evidence. - Paul Bade, Mankato, Minn.

Self-oppressed

I am saddened at the situation in California, but not entirely surprised ("When liberals seize a state," Sept. 7). Friends and relatives who live there tell me that they, too, are dismayed. However, some of these vote the "straight party ticket" and have always voted Democrat. It is difficult to comprehend why Christians will vote for candidates that advocate abortion, the homosexual agenda, and restrictions on Christians. As a result they elect their own oppressors. - David L. Driver, The Dalles, Ore.
