Recently the gaping holes in the fossil records have caused some
strains of evolutionary scientists to suggest that life did not evolve
gradually but in leaps and bounds and spurts. That is an idea for

because we deny the existence of an intelligent creator'.
I, for one, don't think that this theory negates the existence of an
intelligent creator, do you? As a point of interest? I'm not arguing in
favour of the theory.
Actually, neither does the theory that species evolve from other species
-- not that I think they do.
Nor does the theory of a five-billion-year-old Earth negate the
existence of an intelligent creator existing outside of Time. I've had
some issues with some very religious people on that one.
Meanwhile, I do wish all the nonbelievers in the world (at the moment,
I'd settle for the list) were as *tolerant* and respectful of the views
of believers as Frank is!
