Does evolution contradict creationism?

There are two parts to creationism. Evolution, specifically common descent, tells us how life came to where it is, but it does not say why. If the question is whether evolution disproves the basic underlying theme of Genesis, that God created the world and the life in it, the answer is no. Evolution cannot say exactly why common descent chose the paths that it did.

If the question is whether evolution contradicts a literal interpretation of the first chapter of Genesis as an exact historical account, then it does. This is the main, and for the most part only, point of conflict between those who believe in evolution and creationists.

They don't care. They want to share their "faith" with anyone who wants to join the effort to stop science teaching in our schools.

Oh, I understand too well what they are doing. What appalls me is their willingness to embrace Full Monty dishonesty in order to accomplish it. This latest case of plagiarism is but a trifle in the litany of bogus, manipulated, and out-of-context quotes used by anti-Evo/anti-science fanatics to misrepresent scientific thinking.
