One more thing. I dont care about who has the better propaganda machine. That is not the issue. The issue is what is the Truth? Is it evolution or the Bible? These two are not compatible. They cannot both be true. That is the point I am trying to make. If you want evolution to trump the Bible, then fine, but to say the two are in agreement is not logical. The keyboard cannot both exist and not exist. One party has the Truth, irregardless of who wins the propaganda race.

Let's get something straight here -- there is NO propaganda. The way the world is and the Holy Scripture are compatible -- the world, in a way exists for us to resolve how that is so. The problem may be that your own understanding of what Truth is that Scripture is flawed, poisoned or not fully developed. The last is always true, but we have the world and time and each other to help develop it.

The flaws and poisons -- those are harder to recifity. Especillay when you make demands that have no reality in them -- that poison is something YOU have to work through. What demands? For one that your understanding of Genesis is so perfect that anything contrary to IT -- your understanding, not the Genesis text itself -- is untruthful.

There are those who want Truth's head on a silver platter, apple in mouth served up neat and clean. Or served up certified and hygienic in refereed scientific journals, reciped repeatedly by cookbook experiment, preserved in aether-like systems of logic, model and formulae, held in dark complex secret lingua dear to a priestly elite in some haven of high clerics, catalogued into well-researched taxonomies, or argued politely according to Hoyle on forums of the intellect. Truth defies all that. These are tools, man as toolmaker and baker, fine and dandy. but the tools oft get the best of man's intent and make very job that a nail before the hammer held, whether a nail and beam is or is not -- the hammer will be used, damn the plaster.
