Maybe because this is directed at the scientific community, which except for an extreemly few folks who make their money selling Creationist literature, is 100% in agreement with Evolutionary theory.

Hyperbole. Even among evolutionists there is not 100% agreement.

You can't really confirm these "Human-Chimp" skeletons, since you can never get any DNA evidence from them proving that they're the real missing link.

Chalk this one up in the "Junk Science" category.

Creationists have no room to talk about 100% agreement. How old is the world? 6000 years? 4 billion years? Some unknown number?

The Creationists are made up of innumerable religious denominations. Methodists, Catholics, Episcopalians, Jews, Gentiles, even Islamics. None of you can agree on what the Bible says. You have no room to criticize science for a few minor disagreements, none of which deal with abrogating the basic tenents of Evolution.

I've stated my opinion innumerable times on these threads. I think that Creationists are creating an artificial stumbling block for young people by insisting on contesting science over an issue that isn't central to their faith. It matters none exactly HOW God created the universe and life. Just that He did it. Just as God can work in your life and you might write it off as "chance", Evolution works exactly the same way. There is no contradiction between Genesis and science.

And those Creationists who promote the idea that Creationism should be taught side-by-side with Evolution in schools are being particularly stupid. Getting government schools to present two sides and forcing kids to discuss which they must pick is a guarantee that many of them will reject God forever in their lives. Had you agreed with me that there is no contradiction between Evolution and Genesis and taught your children that fact, that half of the classroom that rejected God might someday come to know Him.

You fools.
