Your post borders on bigotry. I am a scientist and a Christian. My father-in-law was the chief chemist for Standard Oil of Indiana. A brilliant man, he worked for a short time on the Apollo Project for NASA. He said he couldn't find a single atheist in the research lab there in Huntsville. Unlike you, he had an open mind on origins and realized the limitations and assumptions of evolution theory.

In my dinner fellowship group selected randomly from our church, I am the only one of eight without at least a Master's Degree. Many in our church might even claim to the "fanatics" for Jesus. They are not burger-flippers, they design computer chips, create airplanes and in my case forecast weather. I can assure you that there are many on all sides of this issue that can discuss related facts and opinions and present a spirited and intellectual defense of their views on origins, while respecting other perspectives.

The train track that runs from hydrogen gas to JFK_LIB is many miles long and to claim that only those who insist the train ran through all those millions of steps solely by random chance are within the bounds of reason is a position beyond the boundaries of scientific fact and disrespectful of the many scientists of many faiths and opinions who believe evolution does not negate the need for an ultimate Creator.

Step_Into_the_Void,

I think #36 was intended for you rather than JFK_Lib.

"Your post borders on bigotry."

Your post borders on irresponsibility.

It was Lost_in_the_void that you apparently meant to respond to, not me.

That cretin, whom I now shall ignore as a lowlife-scum-sucking, invertebrate was the one trolling for anger, not me.

I am a Creationist in that I believe that God created the Universe, life and humanity. I also believe that he did it by way of a gradual process that many today call evolution.

I am not bigoted toward Creationists, though many of them are abit trigger happy, it would seem.
