Which religious one? The one based on the religion of theism or atheism?

The one that says the Hebrew creation myth actually happened.

You've brushed aside the constancy of rates issue, and simply stated by fiat that the Genisis account could not have happened, but have not backed up that assertion.

I've not brushed them aside. As I've said, this material has been posted so many times on these forums, and is available in so many forms on the internet, that one has to be willingly ignorant not to have access to this material.

More to the point, no one's asked me to (re-)post it. But if you're interesting in learning about science, start with the Great Freeper, PatrickHenry's "about" page.

Really it comes down to what one wants to believe. Many feel uncomfortable with the notion of accountability for the actions, and of divine retribution. Secular humanism is a faith that tries to accommodate an allaying of those fears. The Word of God, however, is very clear in Romans chapter 1: every person knows there is a God, and some suppress the truth. Evolution is simply a systematized form of that suppression.

I don't go for those conspiracy thories. Further, I don't care what Romans say about the subject; I don't beieve that book is correct. Would you care that the Muslim Holy Book says that every soul is Muslim and is only peverted into being Christian or Jewish or Hindu? You saying that everyone knows there is a God but some suppress it, and, as proof, you point to your Holy Book is circular argument at its best (or worst)...

Any further dialog, then, is pointless. In your worldview, you cannot account for logic, far less the science built upon its presuppositions. The laws of logic a truth proposition for which there is no emperical evidence. We may as well be discussing some lake in Africa since words, under your worldview consistently applied, have no meaning.
