Neither creationism or evolution is based on observable fact. Neither is hard science... it crosses into the realm of metaphysics. The truth of human origins has absolutely zero basis on our modern life except to excuse modern policy.

Well fossils and the geological column are actually observed--that is, seen. Talking snakes and world-wide floods have not been observed.

The TOE is intimately connected with huge bodies of knowledge about radiometric dating methods from physics, with chemistry, with astronomy, with biology and genetics. And even with medicine.

Creationism is connected only to a 2000-year-old text written at a time when almost all humans believed in superstitions.

Actually Genesis is much older than 2000 years right? Supposedly Moses received the Torah (first five books)from God about 1500 years earlier than your claim (meaning Genesis is 3500 years old).

Bur Harry Potter actually talks to snakes. It says so right in the book. So it must be true that there are talking snakes.

Nothing new...

Most humans STILL believe in 'superstitions'!

Huh? You might want to get your facts straight before making assertions like this.
