George, that`s a lot of crap.  You make a fundamental error in assuming
some dichotomy between an "evolutionist" explaination and a "creationist"
explaination.  If you accept that there are ONLY two possibilities, then
you will be prone to accept the "creationist" viewpoint when (if) they
find a legitimate hole in what they SAY the "evolutionist" viewpoint is.
Fact is, real scientists LOVE to find holes in existing theories...that`s
how they do thier work.

Before I will accept "creationism" (the definition of which seems to
change depending on the sophistication of the audience Gish and co.
are addressing) it must supply a coherent theory which
1. explains the anomoly which "evolution" and the rest of conventional  
science fails to explain (pick a legitimate anomoly, please) and
2. explains the REST of the body of scientific observation in a manner
which is at least as convincing as conventional science.

A fool can ask more questions...

Let`s discuss this over lunch some time and leave the net less polluted
