At the same time, you can enlighten me with the proofs of evolutionism"ism", should they exist (no :-) here, either). First, I suppose it is worth mentioning that we are not going to "prove" anything, either creation or evolution, right? Can answers to questions such as this be "proved"? (Notwithstanding Gould-Sagan types who make statements about evolution being a proven fact, etc.) Perhaps we, and anyone else who would like to contribute to this discussion, ought to address the question of groundrules first, however. For one thing, are we going to bring religion into it or not? It does not matter to me either way. I will say at the outset that I am a Christian, and I believe the Bible when it states that God created. That is enough for me. On the other hand, it is obviously not enough for non Judeo-Christian types. So we shall discuss the evidence. The reason I ask about religion is that I find it quite common for the person on the evolution side of the question to make some sort of assertion about religious matters, when I have not brought religion into the debate at all, and then to contend that I am making the whole thing a religious question! I find this, as you will no doubt understand, a quite disagreeable practice. How would you like to proceed?
