re: #17 Sharmuta

Excellent remarks.

I would add that unless and until ‘creationism’ is subject to the same scientific scrutiny as evolution this phony debate is absurd.

Further, it is interesting to note that while there are some religious scientists (of all faiths) that embrace creationism, the vast majority are pointedly silent on the subject.

There is no schism between faith in God and evolution. In fact, as a believer, I consider evolution to be spectacular evidence of God, the miracle of Creation and the laws of nature.
