You act as if all scientists believe in evolution. Nothing could be further from the case.

Well, well, yours is just one of the many cute remarks posted by the pro-evolutionists on here. This is what it always comes down to when someone challenges evolutionary theory.

You pro-evolutionary theory guys on here are really quite insecure.

The attempt to have a non-cut down/non-cute remark debate concerning the validity of evolutionary theory has apparently ended on here. Ended by insecure pro-evolutionists.

See you all later.

Ah, yes, common creationist tactic. Ignore all facts presented, accuse evolution supporters of not wanting to deal with facts (in this case, the fact that the quotes are often dishonestly taken out of context), run away like a coward.

Hey, don't run away from the question: What are the data you use to support creationism?

You did not answer the question: which "two sides?"

True. There are quite a few scientists who believe in God and that He created the world. Because they aren't sensationalist media whores, you don't hear about them. They're quietly doing their research, and figuring out the fabric of the universe and the stuff of life. I've asked scientists here on this board before if they knew people like I described. They answered in the affirmative.

The creation science demogogues aren't the best and brightest of Christian scientists, but they're the ones that people listen to. They repeat outdated, flawed arguments.

There are issues that evolution has a hard time explaining, that leads me to at least a theistic evolution or creationist viewpoint. I find it staggeringly difficult to believe that the biochemical precision that is required in the enzymes required for life could arise by pure chance. But too many of the arguments creationists use are fundamentally flawed.

Ultimately, what I believe about the origin of life and the origin of man is something I believe because of religion, not science. Science really can't answer fundamental questions of faith. It does poorly when it tries.
