Encyclopedias aren't evidence of anything in the sciences- except where we were, a long time ago (a long time ago in terms of research) Accept it or not, I'm not getting anything out of this. You have a good one too- and try to stick to the liberal arts

Evolution is not a random process, it is a chaotic process - these are very different beasts. If the facts don't support a particular conjecture, is it possible the conjecture is wrong, or at least incomplete? Literal (biblical) Creation is a conjecture based upon documents written and maintained by people and not supported by the evidence, namely that planets evolve, stars evolve, all over a length of time much longer than in the King James bible. Evolution is simply a process of successive discovery performed by humans that is subject to revision and modification - it is without dogma, though some facts are well established. Even then, if a fossil appears that doesn't fit, it isn't discarded by the scientific community - the opposite occurs! It is embraced. As a human philosophy, it is a living thing. Biblical Creationism, OTOH, is dead, unless one modifies it to include continuous creation and then, that is simply a description of EVOLUTION. However, in the Bible, one is not allowed to modify any part of the document lest they commit heresy. If a philosophy is true, it should survive any factual inquiry.
