Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.

From the naturalistic point of view all men are equal. There are only two exceptions to this rule of naturalistic equality: geniuses and idiots.
