Thank you, dear Alamo-Girl!
I don't post much, but I do often lurk and there is an observation I've made. It seems that the crevo debates often fall into two categories. There is that of evolution verses Young Earth Creation. In terms of evidence this one is debatable with science. However, there is the broader topic of "Is there a God who Created us?" This can encompass those who believe in YEC, as well as evolution theist and anyone in between. Science isn't equipped to answer this question. Therefore it cannot be used to exclude the possibility. I really enjoyed reading the replies on this thread especially as they pertain to the metaphysical. It has always seemed to me that science is a tool, but philosophy dictates the questions it is used to answer and how it is applied.
