I also don't believe in a God ... but for those who do? Why can't your God, in his infinite wisdom, have created the foundation for the evolutionary process? I don't believe it, but now our beliefs need not be incompatible. God/Big Bang ... it's a wash.

The entire intellectual effort of creationists lies not in trying to defend creationism but in trying to introduce fraud-tinged doubts about evolution. But that's necessary since creationism is a religious belief the case for which can be boiled roughly down to "cause I sez so" which is perfectly acceptable to believers but not so much for non-believers. Non-believers will require proof for which there is none in support of creationism.<br /><br />The solution to the problem lies in allowing parents to make the decision and take responsibility for the resulting scientific mis-education.allen (in Michigan)noreply@blogger.com
