Yes, I am ignorant.

Ignorance can be cured. Stupidity is fatal.

Yes, all such radioactive and geological processes have remained the same throughout all of history. We have learned everything there is to learn and there is no more to learn.

No one said that. You're sort of coming across petulantly here. We know enough about radioactive, chemical and geological processes to have a high degree of confidence that they have remained unchanged since the beginning.

I can't help that I like having a human for a long lost relative, not an amoeba.

While the amoeba is probably not in your direct line of descent, even creationists cannot reject the data which points to a common ancestor of all life on Earth. Hell, viral insertion markers in DNA give researchers obvious clues as to who is related to whom and how far back that relationship goes. As I said in the past, there are literally thousands of lines of research and mountains of evidence that have brought forth the modern theory of evolution; your average creationist is woefully ignorant of just how extensive this research and evidence truly is. When Ichneumon posts his massive "Evidence" posts, he isn't even scratching the surface of what is out there -- and his posts come with copious bibliographies to actual research papers (not MSM interpretations of such).

Actually, I meant to come across pestulantly there.

There are a lot of creationists that allow for evolutionary priciples. For example, we all know that animals adapt to their different habitats and that animals can be classified into different families on the basis of different characteristics they may have developed. With me, that order and that fact that we have physical laws signify someone being behind it.

I disagree. An amoeba is in my line of descent. His name is Fred.

I'm not going to step into the muck and say that evolution is only a theory, but again, even with all the so-called evidence, there is still no absolute way as to how the world was created. I must admit, that I don't have time to sit around and figure out if I came from a pile of goop or not.

You never did answer my time travel question.

I must admit that your sense of humor seems to disappear with evolution. Oh well...we all evolve.

Because evolution is based on some things that we can see and creationism is based more on things we can't (and there are a whole host of versions to it), yes, they shouldn't be given equal time, BUT I see no problem with someone having a discussion about things like intelligent design.
