==Darwin was just a man, but he was observed to be correct about selective pressure acting upon genetic variation.

Yes, I think your faith in Darwin is so strong that it prevents you from embracing God’s straightforward account of Creation. Tell me, how will your reading of Genesis change when Darwin is finally rejected and overturned? Will you embrace the next theory on evolution the antitheists put forward, or will you finally side with a straightforward reading of the Genesis account? In other words, is your faith in Darwinian evolution, or is it in evolution as a general principle (regardless of whose name is in front of it)?

My faith, like the Pope is complete and total in Jesus the Christ and the spiritual message of the Bible; and like the Pope I have full confidence in the reality of the Sciences of Astronomy, Geology, Physics and Biology.

My confidence in the physical reality of reproducible Science means it would take far more than just an overturning of Evolution through natural selection of genetic variation to make me confident that a literal interpretation of Genesis is the correct one; it would also take an explanation for the age and size of the universe, how we can see objects one hundred million light years away, plate tectonics, the fossil record, evidence of a global flood, the evidence of common descent, etc, etc, etc.

The Discovery Institute is correct about only one thing. It would take a complete overturning of Science to satisfy them. A literal interpretation of Genesis would demand nothing less.
