The question lies in, Are you prepared for the conclusion if it doesn't end up pointing at Evolution? Likewise, are religious people prepared for the result if it does? This boils down to a non-scientific situation ultimately.

We just happen to be here, and we happen to have the history that we have. Evolution theory, chemistry and biology is all I need to understand the rough principles of life and how it came to be.

My point being, Tricord...that because Science is Neutral on the subject of origins...IT HAS TO REMAIN NEUTRAL. Neither system should be presented as fact.

The creationists that I know, aren't trying necessarily to force their theory into schools, but take the evolutionary theory OUT of schools and not put theirs in it's place.

Rush, there's one problem with what you said: the fact that species have evolved, and do evolve, has been proven by scientific research, experimentation, and observation I am not saying that there isn't evidence of MICRO-evolution all around.
