For the 1 millionth time, ONE CAN NOT PROVE A NEGATIVE! It is certainly not up to us (or anyone) to Prove something didn't happen. THE BURDEN OF PROOF RESTS UPON THOSE CLAIMING SOMETHING. I can't prove Genesis isn't 100% accurate just as you can't prove the creation myth of the Dingalonggoogoo tribe of the Amazon (which states that a giant crocodile laid a giant egg and the earth sprung from within) is false.

The mechanics of evolution, however, are simply words on paper which try to describe how things came to be. I fail to see where that becomes so difficult for so many to swallow. As it stands, evolution does a darn good job at explaining things, and backs it up. To date, the christian version of creation has yet to bring a shred of evidence to the table as it always comes down to ONE word: FAITH. And I'm sorry, I wouldn't get on a plane if it was put together on faith anymore than I'll believe a creation myth based upon the same.

What's all this rant ? You have made a very valid point, that we agree upon. That is FAITH. This is a very interesting subject. We are all free to choose what we believe, but we are not free NOT to choose anything. Everyone has the right to place their faith in whatever one chooses. I don't see where we disagree.
