Creationism has its evidence as well.

Actually, the evidence (data) is the evidence; the only difference is the interpretation of evidence.

For years the scientific community has made interpretations based on many assumptions, such as that all life processes must be explained by natural processes and NOT with any external (supernatural or "Intelligent") intervention. If those assumtions are wrong, then those interpretations are wrong.

It is kind of funny... back in my med school days, a professor said "Half of what we are teaching you is wrong and half is right. We just don't know which is which." And looking back over the last 20 years, I see that many things we were taught as "fact" are no longer "true". Why? Because the assumptions that certain "facts" were based on was found to be in error. I am sure that the same is true in almost every area of science.

It is unfortunate that those who preach that the theory of Evolution is "the only way" are constantly have to change what that "way" is.

It is also nice that those of us that believe in young earth creationism don't have to constantly do that.

All you have to do to believe in a young earth is pervert any science that disagrees with your preconceived notions. Look at the Grand Canyon geology lessons and what is being done to various radiometric dating techniques for a starter.

This is incorrect. Evidence has to be something available to anyone who wants to look.

This is why there's no supernatural evidence in science. No on can agree on what it is.

Huh? As you surely know from going through med school and presumably keeping up with modern medical science, that's the way science works. The concept of evolution as a process hasn't changed for quite a while, however the study of the mechanisms involved have undergone some rigor. That, my friend, is a GOOD thing.

It is also nice that those of us that believe in young earth creationism don't have to constantly do that.

Wait... you went to med school?! Where, in Mecca? But I'll give you points for admitting that bible literalists don't ever have to rethink anything. Just please tell me you aren't a practicing doctor. Labotomies R Us.
