>And of course, the evolutionary creationists also have theories that fit with all the scientific evidence and are every bit as provable and demonstrable as the theory of secular evolution. < Like the San Diego Creationist Institute? Hahahahahahahahahahahahah My husband is a geologist (as well as a computer scientist) and he is ROFL.

"Certainly there is a weight of evidence behind the theory of evolution." As much as the "weight" of evidence behind the theory of gravity. The proof of evolution is not in fossilized bones, but in your very DNA. You carry it around with you. FT

<And of course, the evolutionary creationists also have theories that fit with all the scientific evidence and are every bit as provable and demonstrable as the theory of secular evolution. Not that I necessarily agree with them. But I get rather cross when people dismiss their theories, even though they are scientifically every bit as valid as others, solely because they feel so threatened by the possibility of Divine intervention in human activities. That's not very scientific.> So are you seriously saying that it is scientifically logical that two of every animal was saved from disaster in the Ark, and that you don't believe that radio carbon dating is accurate, and that we are not closely related to the apes, and that God created the world not that many thousands of years ago? These are the things the creationists believe in, and attempt to argue with really bad UN-science. Can you tell me how they are scientifically valid? Do you think Lucy from the Olduvai Gorge is a few thousand years old, for example? How do you explain the recent discoveries of very early men with large human heads and small ape-like bodies, and vice versa? Do you not think there was evolution taking place
