Seriously, wow. This shows a major misunderstanding of pretty much everything having to do with science, critical thinking and frankly intelligence. Unless it was a joke, then funny! Otherwise, very, very sad.
Fuzz,
Do you even know what the evolution debate is?
Except among a small fraction of religious zealots, most people understand that evolution DOES exist. Animals and plants DO evolve. This isn't a theory, it's fact.
But that's not what gets people into a tizzy.
It's when we discuss how man evolved. Or what we evolved from.
Some say it was the monkey (or varios other primative primates). Some say it was from a higher being (God, alien, etc).
And here's the kicker: Neither side has any real proof.
One side relies on beliefs and speculation.
The other side relies on theory and innuendo. In other words: speculation. And belief.
I'd be happy to debate it with you, but you'd be sorely dissappointed because although I believe in God I don't always take the Bible as literally as some.
My point isn't to discuss the merits and flaws of these ideas. Just to prove a point (and make a funny).
So if you think I have a major misunderstanding of pretty much everything having to do with science, you'd be very much wrong. The Theory of Evolution includes some mind boggling leaps of faith, and much of the "proof" has been reverse engineered to fit into a preconceived notion.
Again, I'm not telling you Adam and Eve were real, or even that there is any proof either way.
Just simply that both sides have some compelling facts (the creationists use facts to dispell evolution, rather than to prove their own belief) and if you didn't have a horse in the race it would be quite intriguing.
For the record, I don't think that creationism shoudl be taught it public schools.
Although intelligent design, if scripted correctly, could co-exist with Evolution since neither can be sold as fact.
Remember, scientists used to KNOW the world was flat. So be careful with how much weight you give a theory.
