I find it interesting that the question was "do you believe in evolution?"

Would the question ever be, "do you believe in gravity?"

[Obie Wan]

Oh I can prove gravity to you real quick,my question is can you prove evolution to me !!!

[shrinkermd]

Yes, that is a very good point—”believe in evolution” structurally is not that different than “believe in God.”

It points to the dilemma all face—so much of our thoughts and actions are based on the unknowable. Nietzsche had it right when he pointed out their were two basic types of thought--things that we can verify and things that are abstractions. He also was an atheist, but when he said "God is dead" he meant God was dead in the hearts of the elites and the consequences would be a series of dictatorships and ruinous wars. He proved prescient in this respect.

Darwinism and Creationism are abstractions.

Not a good comparison except among fanatical Darwinists. There are too many "yes-buts" in the theory of evolution. I would have said "yes, but...etc".
