Faith and evolution: an argument at cross-purposes with right on both sides

I WOULD like to offer a solution to the disagreement between Sean Fitzgerald (Letters, November 5) and Con Hayes (Letters, November 26) regarding the conflict or otherwise between faith and evolution.

It is quite common to see the term “evolution” used in two different senses and this, I feel, is what is happening here.

If I am right, then both Mr Fitzgerald and Mr Hayes are correct in their own way, but are arguing at cross-purposes.
