That evolution is a lie is pretty simple. This is the greatest country on earth simply because of the constitution and bill of rights. Your rights and my rights were declared by christians to be ordained by God - not government. However (most probably within this lifetime) all of those rights will be stripped away by the government - maybe ours or maybe a worldwide govenrment.

Now to go a step furhter evolution does pave the way for this too. The U.S. Government is the number one supporter of funding for evolutionary studies - in my humble opinion.

Furthermore this issue is truely relevant simply b/c evolutionary theory blasts christianity at the very foundation.

There are many things that you simply can not explain (might start with the links page on my profile) but truly God's Word from 1st Corinthians 3:18-21 sums it up very succinctly.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men.

The government also funds the teaching of arithmetic.

Is this an example of creationist logic?

The only places I know of where people are routinely killed for their beliefs are those countries with theistic governments. Historically, this has been true when Christianity was the religion combined with government. A good many of the early settlers in this country came here to escape Christian monarchies.

Personally, I prefer baked catfish to non sequiturs.

And you may want to note that neither the text of the Constitution nor the bill of rights refers to God. The rights of US citizens are ordained by law. Hence, I am not required to attend your church, nor you mine.

Not only have you not demonstrated that the theory of evolution "paves the way" for what you claim, but you have also not supported your claim that evolution is a "lie".

The specific term is "Creator." This does not necessarily imply a god, or even specifically the Christian God. The founders were very specific in their word choices; does it not strike you as odd that "God" is not specifically mentioned?
