Of course God could have used any means he so desired. However, the Bible says he created man and woman as human beings, not ape-like creatures.

And I don't equate those who believe in God as the creator with communists.

But what makes America great is we can all vote for whomever we wish - for good reasons, for bad reasons, or for no particular reason at all.

I just wouldn't ever vote for anyone who publicly stated God was not the creator. You are saying that those who don't believe God is the creator think those of us who do are nuts. And I think just the opposite!

Human beings are "ape-like creatures." There are differences in degree but not in kind -- we have bigger vocabularies, we build better tools, our body hair tends to be shorter.

Show me in the Bible where it details the process God used to create humans. Even if God snapped his fingers and said "let there be humans", at the very least molecular changes must have happened, so obviously many details are left out of the Genesis description. Where does it describe the creation of DNA, for example?

If you want to get hung up with the "Days" time problem, then you're merely a YEC and evolution is the least of your problems. Cosmology and geology might be a better place to start arguing for a YEC rather than evolution.

And I don't equate those who believe in God as the creator with communists.

Nope, you don't get it. Not at all.

For one thing, you imply that believers in God all believe in creationism. That's a distortion, at the very least.

My original point, that you missed, was that creationists would have the same chance of getting elected as communists. That does not "equate" them in any way, except their electability.

I just wouldn't ever vote for anyone who publicly stated God was not the creator.

Then you're no different than the person who wouldn't vote for someone who stated that evolution is false (which implies that the world was created in 7 days).

The problem is that religious ideas such as creationism and communism (and I believe communism *is* a religion, just not a deity based religion) are too hot for politics to handle. Which is why politicians must stay away from them else they will never get elected.
