So, as far as these creationists don't block you on
believing what you want, why should you evolutionists >deny them of the
same?
Sunith responds:
Because creationism (or the Catholic version of it) is trying to creep
its
way into schools all over the world in the guise of a legitimate
scientific
theory and is being used to brainwash young children.
There is as much evidence for Intelligent Design as there is for the
theory
that years ago a galactic warlord called Xenu rounded up 13.5 trillion
beings from an overcrowded corner of the universe, dumping them on Earth
before killing them with nuclear bombs(which is what Scientologists
believe!).

Hello Fred and Sunith:
Your intense discourse on Mankind's Origins seems to have reached an
impasse. Apparently, the controversy surrounding this enigmatic scientific
subject with religious overtones or vice-versa,( as you like it) will not
be settled until Hell freeses over. Hence to you and like-minded Juggernauts
of Goanet engaged in this debate, I proffer the following verse :
Choosing between Creationism and Evolution
Whats the most rational and moral solution
To terminate nip and tuck strife and elocution?
Without a face-saving and retarding dilution
Or the bathos of ravaging intellectual pollution
Scrubbing the intelligent with enlightening ablution
Could we develop an amalgamated convolution?
forgoing predilection, passion and seminal intuition
Ere mankind reaches the bloodshed of a revolution
Requiring a Higher Power(s)' stern interlocution
But for Heavens sake why have all this bitter consternation
Twixt savants for their opposing theories seeking justification
In the search for our Origins with scrutiny and elaboration
That seems to lead to Oblivion with internecine vilification
When whats important is not our Origins but our Destination
Cheers
Arnold
