My thoughts on this, not surprisingly, mirror those of Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) in that all that is really important from Creation is THAT God is the Creator. Discovering the processes used and the beauty and perfection of science only adds to His glory. I will not begrudge or belittle those who believe differently than me, but I will not passively accept insulting my belief system.
Now that’s what I’ve been trying to say.
Agreed!

Totally understand that. My wife and don’t always agree on really important stuff either....
Thanks for the reply, you have been busy tonight.
Well said, all three points.
And therein lies your lie. You DO begrudge, as you chase any Creation thread; you do belittle, as you participate in those threads to demean those who do have a literal Creation belief (i.e. The Bible is True, not a fairy tale)
Same as was told to the others in your little thread-chasing group (xcamel, Buck W., ElectricStrawberry, et al), you believe in evolution, fine, have your threads, but if you choose to enter Creation threads and spread discord, expect return fire. I do not believe, even in your case, that we have Lemur-like ancestry.
