    No, Creationism by any name would be false, because evolution and creationism cannot both be true. Savvy?

    if an opinion doesnt match yours, do you simply dismiss it as juvenile..?
    It's not the opinion, it's the attitude behind the opinion.

    It sounds like you have a very broad definition of Evolution which would include even non-living things.

    Most "savvy" Evos I know are quick to distance their theory from origin of life or origin of the universe problems.

    Are you new to the game?

    how do you know what my attitude is, you can't even see me... my initial point was neither condescending or impolite... i was merely suggesting something from a different point of view... it's pretty clear you have trouble dealing with that

    Biological evolution applies only to living things. But it's not the only kind of evolution that's true.

    Continental drift, for example, has been proven. I don't believe that the East Coast of South America fits in to the West Coast of Africa because "God" wished it, I believe it happened because the Continents drifted apart. Yes, it contradicts Creationist beliefs. But Creationism cannot be proven.

    No, I'm not new to anything that I publicly participate in, be it chess or atheism.

    How do you differentiate between which kind of evolution theory you are speaking about ? Or do you just put it all under that heading of Evolution ?

    Do you believe that the material univese always existed from eternity?

    If not what do you imagine that the very first instance of Natural Selection was? How did that work?

    I don't know why continental drift should give me reason to believe that there was no intelliegence involved in the creating of the earth.

    You might expect as much from a guy who was horny after his sister.

    Maybe what he meant was his own conscience was dead.
