    In as much as creation and evolution cannot conform to scientific methodology, that is, neither can be proven or disproven, they both belong in religion class in the hallowed halls of higher learning.

    It takes faith for either position. The creation model fits the evidence much better than the evolution model--the amount of information required for the simplest of organisms demands intelligent design. Einstein admitted to an intelligence greater than his. He apparently never sought a personal relationship with his creator.

    The evolutionists are still trying to figure why not so old pig's teeth are not missing links in homo sapien's ancestry.

    See: The Long War Against God, by Henry M. Morris, Baker Books, Dec. 1993.

    Even so, come Lord Jesus.

    I understand that you and MOST others "disagree" even passionately with the concept of evolution. I REALLY do understand that. But many of the most ardent critics do not actually understand some of the basics. For example, Darwinism <> Evolution, Darwinism argues that evolution exists as a reality and uses it to explain not the Origins of Life, but rather the origin of species. He did most certainly in his more private communications seem to accept some form of abiogenesis. Evolution as a concept, is an undeniable fact of nature and the universe in which we live. As to what role if any, that it played or plays in our humanity is discussion still underway and will be for some time to come.

    The following link is a good bit of information on many misconceptions surrounding the conversation.

    Well...

    Despite their BEST efforts, so far NO prook that species have ever evolved across lines, and man is still seen as being a direct and special creation of God, for NO apes were in the image of God, so we were not evolved off a common ancestorary tree with them!
