Your bizarro-world claim that I said somethign akin to "Christians are incapable of practicing good science" is just so far from anything I've actually said, it's hard to come up with a response.

Your posts have included such things as this:

Going back to Creationism would be like going back to believing in an Earth-centered universe. Abandoning reason for madness.

In those two sentences you are clearly saying that those who believe a Creator brought about "all this" cannot be practitioners of good science.

ERRR. Wrong, but thanks for playing.

A person can quite easily be both a "good Christian" and a "good scientist." Can quite easily believe that a Creator brought about "all this," through natural forces including evolution.

A Creationist can even be a good scientist. Just not in the field of biology and paleontology, of course, just as an astrologer might make a fantastic linguist, but a lousy astrophysicist.

But Creationism, like astrology, is bunk, and will always be bunk. It is not only not supported by the evidence, it is *contradicted* by the evidence.
