"If god made it so, then there is no reason to study it."

Thankfully Newton, Galileo, etc. did not think this way. How does the assumption that "God did it" negate any need for study? I don't see the connection.

I am glad that you think that way, but many do not, ask a number of us here, Patrick Henry, Radioastronomer etc. there are a few on this board that say exactly that. The study of evolution is a waste, godidit, that is all they need to know.

When I see a statement like that it scares the heck out of me, and it looks like it would you as well.

It doesn't 'negate', -- it 'discourages'
such study, -- as many victims of the inquisition tell us.
