I originally was looking for a quote from Martin Luther that essentially said that the definition of marriage should be left to the lawyers and the secular authorities. Then I found this source. I just found the extensive detail to be in some sense self-authenticating. Then DF searches for something to discredit this guy (because apparently he doesn't like looking at how Christianity's thinking on marriage has certainly not been static). Well, I think people can be somewhat out there and still do some interesting research which is not compiled anywhere else (and as I said the extensiveness of the research makes it hard believe it was make up) and if youre going to discredit the guy because he has some extreme views I see nothing wrong with pointing out that if you take a look at Christianity on a rational basis it could seem to be loony, too.
As far as evolution, if it is true then it undercuts the foundations of Christianity so I understand why DF will not accept it. We get new findings all of the time and some change our understanding of how humans evolved in significant ways, but I doubt very much that the central understanding that human beings evolved slowly over several million years based on the theory of natural selection will change.
