Ha, ha. This is kinda funny about factcheck. Excerpt below.

------------------------

Now, those independent fact-checking groups have swung into action on all this Palin info drifting around the internet. Probably the most prominent such group is FactCheck.org, a branch of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

It's run by a jerk named Brooks Jackson, a veteran journalist for the Associated Press, Wall Street Journal and CNN who,....

...in the interests of full disclosure, was once one of the messier college roommates that a certain Ticket blogger ever had.

Jackson got all famous when he pioneered those fact-check and adwatch stories on CNN where he diligently disassembled political ads, claim by claim, for verification, often to the embarrassment of the campaigns but to the benefit of studious voters paying attention. Yes, there are some.

I think you're quite wrong in thinking people of faith don't believe evolution was and is taking place.

They simply think that Darwinism doesn't explain everything. In truth, I don't think they even think about it that much even though the media flogs the notion.

I guess there are some hold-outs that completely deny fossil records, etc. Probably about as many who deny the Holocaust.
