Now, I have had enough of your insulant bull.

If you're going to mount the high horse, learn how to spell insolent first. Then try looking it up. Insolence is the failure to show the deference due to one's superiors; if you fancy yourself in that position, the issue isn't my insolence, but your hubris.

Let’s get something straight, those of us who believe that God created all things in six days are saying He did it right the first time. You who believe in evolution say He needed millions of millions of years and that things where not right to start, as He had made them so they need to evolve.

You have the sheer hubris to believe that you know the mind of God a priori. The rest of us seek to know God by observing his creation. The powers of observation and reason are part of His creation at least as surely as that little book you so cherish.

And evolution does not imply that God got something wrong; creation was right then, and it's right now. It's just not the same now as then. If I build a clock, and it doesn't say at this moment that it's noon, there's nothing wrong with the clock. It will say it's noon when it's noon.

The problem is that your fragile little ego can't handle the possibility that God knows something you don't, so you have to reduce the ongoing miracle of creation to something you can write in crayon on the back of a Denny's place mat.

God created evolution and quasars and quantum mechanics, with no more effort than you or I would exert to make a cup of tea and a slice of toast for breakfast. You will not and cannot understand the mind of God, because the infinite cannot be contained by the finite. It's like trying to squeeze Jupiter into the trunk of a Pinto.

It is you pious, self-righteous zealots who most gravely insult the Almighty -- you delude yourself that you are His gatekeeper, that your squawkings are His will. You know nothing, least of all that you know nothing. You have neither wisdom nor humility. If you find that insolent, so be it.
