Dom, if you can understand a damn thing that tool posts, I'll buy you lunch.

I'm guessing English isn't his first language.

But I'm fascinated by a thought I had -- this idea that the Creos don't disagree with evolution.

They all seem to agree with evolution, but only disagree about the age of the Earth.

Yet they spend a lot of their time insulting evolution mistakenly.

Interesting, to me.

Well, sort of. There are still a few hardcore young-earth creationists, denying the dating methods used for fossils and rocks and so forth, but they're rarer and rarer these days. What you'll find is that many creationists accept the existence of microevolution, but what they don't want to do is make the jump and realize that lots of little microevolutions over time equals macroevolution and speciation. So, microevolution, where an organism adapts to ite environment is A-OK, but macroevolution, where new species arise, is right out.

Why that is, I'm not so sure, but I trust that someone from the C end who can speak English will be along soon enough to explain it to you...
