Re: Welcome to EvC
It has been brought up that most here are defending their position on religion in public school science classes. That is the basis for the existence of the forum.
Provide me with another option if you don't believe me
I can't speak for others, but I don't think I need to believe in the characters in a book to do a literary critique. I do not need to believe Scarlett O'Hara actually existed to discuss the decisions she made in the book. I can understand that yes, Atlanta exists and yes Sherman marched through Georgia. Does that mean I believe that everything else in the book actually happened?
I have been in some pretty heated and fascinating debates on motivations and decisions made in a book of total fiction. It has nothing to do with belief in the characters or historicity of events.
