This is why creationists get attacked. Rather than attack the facts/logic of the science involved you make vast claims about evolution as some kind of leftist plot to strip the world of freedom or that it's some kind of scripturally-based dogma.

It ain't either. These are equivalent to ad hominems, STOP DOING IT. Sheesh.

Actually I base it on Huston Smith's definition of what comprises a religion.

Therefore, it couldn't have been ad hominem....not to mention that I wasn't speaking to your hominemness, anyway, but to someone else.

If you prefer the European Union, something may be arranged.

I am aware of a scientific Theory of Intelligent Design that would be more consistent with our nations founding precepts as well as what we call reality.

Two men become stranded on a remote island. As they explore the island they come upon a sandcastle with towers, buttresses and a drawbridge. The design of the castle is amazingly intricate.

One man comments, "It is amazing what time and the ocean can create. The small rocks and seashells on the shore must have got caught in eddies and swirled around and chiseled out that castle. There were a few palm leaves floating by that scribed out the little lines that look like bricks. We are alone and there is no need to consider anything else."

The other man looked at him incredulously and said, "No, that castle was created by another intelligent being with a clear intent of design, we are not alone."
