Evolutionism isn't science. The scientific method requires the ability to perform a repeatable experiment.

I'm very religious and I went to Caltech and didn't have any disagreement with any of the chemistry or
physics that I learned there with the exception that
the Bible says that the world is 5700 years old and
astronomy suggests that it's billions of years old.

Now I can fully sympathize that the world appears to be billions of years old. However, you have to appreciate that it's a much bigger leap of faith
about the age of the world than it is to believe in quantum mechanics. And evidence-wise evolution is on flimsier ground.

I believe that the world is 5700 years old because
philosophically speaking, astronomy doesn't disprove history. The Creator can create and intervene anyway It likes and if the world appears older than it is so be it. Same thing with evolution except that as I said before, evolution requires a lot more leaps.

Media bias?
I've been railing about the Religious Right---so much so that I'm back to using the term---in the past three posts (here, here and here) but it just occured to me: does the media give these religious wingnuts a free pass to a lot of presstime so that...

1st I'd like to say to all the "Rels & Sec" (religious and seculars" that evolution follows creation. What happened between verse 1 and verse 2 of the bible? the bible co-oberates science and vice versa. 2nd; in the famous words of American Statesman Will Rodgers.."One constant you can count on is the stupidity of the American people"..again.."We will send Marines to any country that can get 10 people to say they want us"..Once and for all..LBJ lied to the people by telling us we had an obligation in 'Nam and McGovern told the truth, hence... we fought a losing war for Johnson's ego! also..we Nuked Japan twice for less that 9/11 and another president GB 41 did not listen to his generals when told go for it...Patton got retired, McArthur got fired and Shwarzengager just got quiet..We do not fight wars on our soil...America brings the fight to those who are stupid enough to challenge and hurt us! Warriors do not want war...only those who do not understand want war...and picking a fight with U.S.A. is not a smart thing to do....GO GB 43...at least we got a president that got Balls...what would Gore have done...File a Lawsuit!!!!

Creationists are desperate because church attendance, and in fact god belief too, is on the decline, the christians are in danger of losing their majority (to either atheists or muslims, both possibilities horrify them), and good science education is the best defense against religious brainwashing. They will ultimately fail.

I was once hauled up short for reading H.G. Wells' "Science of Life" during recess at a Catholic parochial school. It wasn't the subject matter so much as that the nuns thought my 3rd Grade peers would freak over some of the illustrations, particularly those showing embyonic similarities between humans, chickens, and fish.
