"Oh? If evolution is accepted as viable then you can negate the Book of Genesis."
I do not believe that your faith is that fragile that it requires the reversal of a scientific theory. Evolution is not and has never been a threat to Genesis. This is why I am so angry with the promotion of this ID nonsense. Some people are setting this up so that kids are having to make a choice between science and faith. And, it is my experience that the bright, curious minded kids are choosing science.
I don't think ID is a problem for science. I think ID is a serious problem for our faith communities. Now is the time for people of faith to step up and hold the promoters of ID to their word. ID is not about faith or about God. It is a scientific theory. And, if it is proved true than we go back to say Aristotle was right, there is a prime mover. Neither ID or evolution has any real significance for people of faith.

Then please explain how evolution and Genesis are compatible with each other. As I said, if one is true, (which would be the latter), then the other cannot be.
