You guys are as hopeless as the New York idiots that postulated a completely outrageous scenario, that they called a "theory" for a horrific crime that if believed, would exonerate the guilty. When it was pointed out that thee was not a single piece of evidence to support this flight of fancy, they responded with the canard, "That's why we call it a theory!"

A theory is far more than unsupported conjecture. Ant that is emphatically true of the fact of evolution. It is not mere conjecture. It is a well built edifice based on solid research, study, revision, refinement, advancement and insight. It is resilient, responsive, and utilitarian. It answers questions and gives results.

What is creationism? Where are it's researchers? Where are it's facts? Where are it's results?

Nowhere. Creationism is a morally an intellectually bankrupt dead end that has to rely on distortion and outright lies to make its feeble points.

As a creation myth, you are welcome to it. But please don't insult us all by expecting us to take it seriously.

Really? Name one significant biological discovery which does not tend to disprove evolution. Just one.

You really ought to do a little homework before you make such statements. Feel free to take your foot out.

Such questions indicate either a gross ignorance of the subject or a blinding bias against it.

As proven here on these threads everyday.

As a Jewish, theistic evolutionist, I take the Torah very seriously, in the way it was intended to be taken: as a guide to how to live our lives, and as a record of my ancestors' search for, and encounter with, God. It was never intended to be a science book,and I don't take it as such. But on the really serious issues, I take it very seriously indeed.
