It is not a difficult concept, yet it seems to be the main bugaboo of creationists.

Creationists are not only a disgrace to science but a disgrace to the Bible too. The Bible stresses faith. Than can't have very much if they keep searching for proof.

I usually stay out of these threads, but I have to comment on this. The Bible does require our faith, but in no way discourages us from challenging it as a way to grow. To attack someone who strives to reconcile their faith with what they observe seems to be to be a very disingenuous argument, designed not to persuade, but to offend.

God never requires faith without providing evidence.

It is like saying that if gambling is random then gambling houses should lose money as often as they make money. The games have an element of chance, but the house always has an advantage.

In evolution there is an element of chance as far as what genetic variations arise, but the ‘house advantage’ is SELECTIVE PRESSURE, which is decidedly non random.
