Except for the fact that most people don't believe their invisible friend created the universe word for word as the old testament, or any other religious documents for that matter, describes it. Most religious people don't believe their invisible friend of choice had a hand in it, but used natural forces to move things along and thus there is no conflict with evolution.

They do get to claim that the theory is a theory and can be modified and/or supplanted by better theories when they become available. But just for a second, lets take a step back and define who these creationists your talking about are. Are they people who believe in God? Those who believe that God created reality? Those who believe that 6000 actual 24 hour days went into creation? I know I belong to 2 of those categories. Replace God with "Goddess/Allah/Jesus/Zeus/the Force/etc." and you may cover most people on earth. > On 4 August 2011 19:32, Michael Dinowitz <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Easiest answer around.
