well now, there is much there to think on.

suffice to say that some atheists doubt evolutionary theory. Aurthur Koestler being one. He also in the Case of the Midwife Toad showed just how closely belief (in this case political) and science are tied together. Like it or not you work under certain assumptions, cultural, political, theistic or atheistic.

Or go to Popper who would disagree with you in that he would assert science can only propose a hypothesis which disproves other theories. So scientific conclusions are always tentative and open to being disproved in turn.

The myth of dispassionate science is just that a myth.

when I die I will go to Heaven and meet with my God. You may say I have a problem with evolution. Maybe. Your problem is considerably greater.

but kind regards indeed.

Unless God then asked you why you wasted the brain he gave you; ignoring the the wonder of evolution that he created and set out for you to discovery in favor of near idolatry of a book written by men. Then your problem is probably greater.

Non-sequitur. Why is it that creationists frequently retreat into religious preaching when they run out of facts? Are so many of them of the completely mistaken belief that all who accept evolution are atheists, or that evolution is somehow a religious-themed concept?
