Not true at all. I know you will not like this answer but the concept of a divine Creator explains everything completely with no holes, no contradictions and no need of digging in the muck for fossils. Now, I want you to remember before you respond that you have said a few times already that you are a devout Roman Catholic.
In the parable of the talents, the foolish servant buried his allotment because he was afraid of what his master might do to him. To me, this sums up the attitude of the creationist community -- it is so afraid of heavenly retribution it plays dumb. You remember what happened to the foolish servant, do you not?
