LOL. You are a very unusual anti-evolutionist then. Most of those who purport to reject evolution spend a large proportion of their time fulminating about abiogenesis instead. Understandably, since evolution is scientifically beyond dispute (even Behe, Denton, Dembski, Meyer accept it) whereas mechanisms for abiogenesis remain hypothetical. I certainly think it would be most unwise for Christians to nail their belief to the mast of "No conceivable mechanism for abiogenesis can be demonstrated". Scientific gaps have a habit of being filled. Of course there are the other even dafter Creationists who opine that if scientists demonstrated abiogenesis in the lab then it would "prove" ID. :))

And then their are the daft Neo Darwinians who swear up and down that bioengineering is not intelligent design.

Go figure.

Let me be clear on where I stand on abiogenesis and evolution. From my perspective Abiogenesis, as the hypothesis of chemical evolution creating the first replicator on Earth, is unfalsifiable. But the fact that it is unfalsifiable should not preclude research in that field.

Second, I am not an "anti- evolutionist". I am an anti-Dawkinisist along with other members of that ilk. Evolution happens. Intelligent design, small id, as a mechanism for changing allele frquency happens. No big deal from my seat in the stadium.

Having said all that I would be derelict in not saying that above all I am a creationist.

And there you have it once again.
