No it is not my theory. But it is an alternate explanation of light. Mainstream science does not accept it, but it is very hard to dispute with current scientific understanding of light. The simple fact is that it does not mean either theory is absolutely correct or absolutely wrong.

Also I do not worship at the "Church of Darwin" and I am not an evo true believer. Both theories are full of holes in my opinion. Jumping on evo every time there is something new though does not serve the creation crowd well. I have been hearing that evo doesn't work for this or that reason since I was a small boy. Creationist point to supposed bronze age tools found in coal beds in England as proof of creation. However, those claims can never bee independently verified and on and on and on. Supposed human foot prints in strata with dino prints but if you go to the location the "evidence" is somewhat suspect and not a clear win for creation. Why are dino beds only full of rare and exotic animals that few if any are around today? Many Creation people say that "oh God killed them in Noah's flood so of course it makes sense that that is the only fossils around". But if the Bible story of Noah is true (also another suspect story in my mind) then there should be the reside of all the animals that were not given sanctuary on the ark. Where are their remains if they were covered in a big flood?

I see more evidence of evo in my daily life than I do creation. I see deer populations that have adapted to certain locales. If you take a deer from fifty miles away and drop it with the adapted deer it will not survive because it is not adjusted to the locale. I see humans changing and evolving to modern life. On Mount St. Helens there are pocket of life that were left untouched by the explosion. In those pockets are colonies of ants that are genetically different than other pockets in close proximity to them. Prior to the explosion they were all the same DNA - 25 years later and diversified DNA - hard to explain with creation. Finally, the age of rock is - if you do not believe rock dating techniques - than you can throw evo out the window but the evidence is overwhelming that the Earth is very old. Creationist that try and argue that "God made it that way" just don't do themselves any favors with people who think like I do and there are many of us. Just stick to the story - that is all you have on the creation side. Bless you if you are a true believer but campaigning to convert people doesn't work. Look at the millions of man hours spent discussing abortion on talk radio. I have never found anyone who's mind was changed because somebody said it was one way or the other on talk radio.

It worked on me. And where do you think the pro-life movement came from? Do you think everyone woke up one day and decided they were pro-life?
