Like evolution?

Sorry, that happens not to be the case.

I can see where folks of certain religious persuasions can't abide by the theory of evolution, but those religious beliefs by themselves do not negate either science, or the theory of evolution.

I studied evolution about half time during six years of grad school. That was some years ago, but I have seen the fossil man/osteological evidence supporting the theory of evolution in some detail. Since then the field of genetics has independently added a huge amount of support for the theory.

If religious belief, such as creation "science" or ID, seeks to overturn the scientific theory of evolution, they need to provide scientific evidence. Religious belief is not sufficient (hey, there's a tag line in there!)
