Evolutionists believe in a creator - the creator being nature. It can be likened to a creationists views, in fact we are seeing the pages of thier bible in text books now.

This point of view is about as un-informed as it is possible to be about evolution -- and about science in general. There's no way to clear up Heartlander's confusion quickly, if at all, but for the lurkers, in a nutshell, the response is this:

Science isn't just another cult. It's the opposite of a cult. It's based on observation and reason.

True, but not a particularly useful statement. Evolutionists believe in the process of variation and selection. First causes are not addressed.

There are science buildings at famous universities with inscriptions going back to the 1890's saying "The laws of nature are the thoughts of God".

I guess the majority of scientists believe in a single act of creation rather than a continual tweaking of natural law.

There is a 'small' difference: as far as I know nobody questions nature's existence. Regards.
