To understand why we (Christian Creationists), reject evolution, the big bang theory, and chemical evolution is because when man attempts to find "truth" and ignores the bible, then if you believe in an inerrant bible, as we do, then logically it follows that certain theories will be mutually exclusive to that belief.
Therefore in response to special pleading, we have to show that there is a reason for our rejection, which is exclusive, which then removes the accusation of a double standard.
What is important is that we don't reject any facts. for example, I do not reject effects of gravity, but more precisely, I do not reject anything which exists in God's universe,
An acceptance of oxygen will not negate an inerrant bible. But evolution clearly is a theory which makes it follow that an inerrant bible must certainly be false.
Therefore, even though Darwin doesn't specifically state that we can not have bible belief, nor any evolutionary scientist, infact, logically one must reject that very thing.
This means that it now becomes a question of priorities. Does a person who believes in the God of the bible, and puts his whole life there for God to take, reject the God that he knows has done so much for him/her?
(I doubt I will return in time to respond to admin requests, I suggest that the topic is either put through to a relevant forum or rejected.)

The topic was fine up until your closing parenthetical comment. Are you saying you don't have time to participate in your own thread?

I believe others can debate this if they so wish. I can try and come back to it but you have to realise that I am smart enough to know that it is somewhat futile for me to fight against a crowd. In a true one to one debate, with strict rules, I know I would win, but the fact is that having joined in 2003, I fully am aware of people's nature, and how they will distort, deceive, lie and attack me personally. All these sins against me that have been allowed in the past, indicate to me that it is better to give your reasoning, and then just leave it with people. This doesn't logically exclude others from discussing the issue.(I also have an anxiety disorder which makes me nervous when people become agressive....so i also fear what responses will say...so at times although I want to respond, I get nervous so I have to refrain).
