Or, some super-being just blinks it all into existence over the course of seven -- oh, wait,no - he took a day off - six days. Equally ridiculous nonsense.
Oh, I'm sorry, this goes completely against your personal brainwashing experience. Therefore, using ID logic, the 6 day story MUST be right. (It says so in the Bible....).

Glad I made it thru THAT logical quagmire....

You're right, ID or creationism is more faith-based than anything. My own personal belief is that it did not take 6 days, but was more of a long process--our days are not like the Lord's days. As creationists though, we shouldn't base all of our judgement of science just on evolution. Science is an essential part of life and we wouldn't be anywhere without it. Not too many centuries ago, the prevaling religious thought was that the sun orbited the earth.

Actually, while I strongly believe the earth was created, I do think that nobody really knows exactly HOW it was created. We'll all find out someday, but it doesn't cause me sleepless nights wondering exactly how it all began. I have more important things to worry about like now and the future. Whatever happened has already happened.

Can you site one single passage from the bible that can be unquestionably refuted? Just one. You can't, trust me. Do all the resaerch you like. Belief in the bible, from Genesis to maps, scares people like you. Why?

I think the answers may be a combination of the two views. The earth is several billion years old. Did God use materials from some other planet to make ours? Did he take several billion years to create the heavens and the earth before he created the light which marked the first day? How long was a day? Was the earth was in it's current position in orbit around the sun? There is a world full of possibilities we just don't know exactly how it was done.

Darwin thinks we all came from 1 celled creatures, each of us was created from 2 cells (sperm and egg).

Darwin believes in accidental creation, I believe in a guided creation.

I think there is a medium to all of this. Evolution has faults and extreme creationism has faults.

I think schools should show the facts and then point out different theories and the reasons behind those theories.

I think an interesting debate for a school would be evolution/intelligent design/creationism.
