Evos have a much harder time with people not believing their theory than Christians have with others not believing Christ.
I don't see what it is to them if people don't want to believe the ToE. Perhaps one of these FReepers could explain why it's so all fired important that everyone HAVE to agree with them.
Why don't they simply accept that someone can look at the fossil record and come to a different conclusion about it?
Why the insistence in believing lockstep with some manmade construct about how they think that the variety of life on this planet came from?

That is fine. You can believe in ID or even Biblical 6 days all you want. What you can’t do is try to say that is anything other than theology.
By suggesting children should be taught, and science accept that ID or any creation story is a scientific “alternate theory” is completely and factually wrong by any and every definition of the word.
As far as discussions about the “what we can’t see behind what we can” — I think that is a great and rather enjoyable discussion with many interesting avenues of pursuit.
You should know that by now, MM.
Personally I don't give a rip whether you believe in the theory of evolution or not. I question it myself though, admittedly, I do find most of it more thoroughly presented and convincing than the opposing viewpoints.
What I do find comical and rather suspicious is the obsessive need of some here to demonize Darwin, Atheists and believers in evolution.
Personally, I prefer to consider people on their individual merits and would accept a person of integrity and good character be they Atheist, Christian, Muslim or whatever over a closed-minded, spiteful dogmatist any day.

I think many people would ask the "militant" Creationists on this site the same question...
