Lud, I can answer you ALL in one simple statement. I believe in creation, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME RIGHT.
In fact, a belief in creation is part of Christian belief. A belief in creationism is a belief in a different religion.
And proabilities don't make Evolution (a belief) science. The most rediculas part of your argument is that you WILL NOT admit that Evolution is a religion and not science.
The reason evolutionary theory cannot be religion, is that it is based on evidence, rather than faith. If you read actual texts on the theory, evidence, not faith, is cited to support the theory. The reason scientists overwhelmingly accept evolution is the fact that it explains the evidence better than any other theory.
Again, Science is used to test and observe. Evoulion does not do this, Evolution is a belief, the same as creation.
No, that's wrong. Agronomists, for example, use evolutionary theory in their work regularly, and make testable predictions. Recently, the evolution of a new, irreducibly complex metabolic pathway was directly observed.
I'm concerned, though, that you have so little regard for faith that you use it as a criticism. For religion, faith is a very good thing.
Oh, I will answer one question specifically. If others want to learn about creation and see it's proof look out side. The earth did not just "poof" and appear, someone or something created it. Look around you. The house or building you are sitting in and the computer you are typing did not just "poof" and appear, someone or something created it. Look at how perfect these things are. These perfections do not happen by chance. Imagine if someone told you that there was a hurricane and then "poof" the gods of evolution gave a brand new p4 2ghz with 256mb of ram and a 24x CD-RW. I'm sorry, that is how rediculas I think your belief is when you call it science.
If I thought evolution was like that, I wouldn't like it, either. You've learned the Cartoon Version of evolution, not the real one.
Might be worth checking out what it's really about, no?
One more point, "poof" is a evolutionist's favorite word. "poof" sound alot like MAGIC!
Funny, I keep seeing the "Poof!" theory used by creationists, not evolutionists. "Poof! Godmustadunnit."
The bible's divine intervention is not something "I" can prove. I wasn't there. Nor were you to prove aginst it. But oh yeah, I forgot, I'm not calling my belief......SCIENCE.
That's because it's based in faith, not evidence. Evolutionary theory, however, is based on evidence. Which is why it's a science. Would you like to learn more about it?
