I was out for a few hours (that work thing), and in my absence Ichny has responded to the issues admirably.

I want to touch on only one point:

Dave writes: When I have reiterated over and over again that the evidence is the same, the interpretation is different.

Sorry, that doesn't cut the mustard. That is simply a hand-wave, and there is no validity at all to that argument (or lack of argument). Your offer to repost a bunch of anti-science apologetics from AnswersinGenesis is likewise of no use in a scientific argument. When will you realize that apologetics is not science, and that it has no evidentiary standing in a scientific debate?

Son, it doesn't matter one hoot what your interpretation is. What matters is the interpretations of those who know what they are talking about. Those who know the evidence.

I might have a lot of opinions on higher math and physics, but what are they worth? Nothing! And I am smart enough to realize it.

Unfortunately, you seem think that your religious belief constitutes scientific evidence, or that your non-scientific opinions on the theory of evolution mean something. That happens not to be the case.

You have carved out a comfy niche here with a creation ping list made up of folks who regularly bash the sciences in general and evolution in particular. But until you all actually learn something about those sciences, and about evolution, your opinions are just that--opinions. They are not "alternate interpretations," they are opinions. And in a scientific context they are not worth the pixels they are written to our screens with.
