Um, belief in cration predated belief in evolution by, oh, I'd say, 5884 years. Evolution is in fact the challenger theory.
Nope. One is scientific theory, the other is religious theory. That is the whole point---creationists continually try to infuse religion into science. Religion is OUTSIDE THE BOUNDS of science. The minute you say "creator", you have moved outside of science, from physics to metaphysics. You (and I) are free to believe anything we wish, but those beliefs are NOT science. My own personal "belief" is that God created the universe as it exists today, and evolution is one of the tools by which he did so. But that belief is NOT a valid scientific one.
And exactly WHICH "belief in creation" are you referring to?? The Chinese, Bablyonian, American Indian, Aztec??? They are all different.
Doesn't have to do with belief, it has to do with evidence.
