there is a huge debate in the states (and i suspect in parts of Canada too) about the teaching of evolution and creation in the public school system. some school boards/parents/students want to put the "theory" back in "theory of evolution" and also want the theory of creation brought up in classes. of course the evolutionist hate this idea.. i mean it's stupid isn't it. to think that we came from the mind of a higher power.. ridiculous. isn't it so much easier to accept that billions of years ago some minerals from a rock rolled the dice for a 1 in a billion chance and became a single cell life form.
what the hell is wrong with people? "science" hasn't proven evolution. not macro-evolution anyway. micro-evolution, that's easy to see. domestic breeding. geographical seperation.
the biggest problem is no one wants to talk things out. there is no dialogue, just religious retoric (from both sides.) grow up. just cause your smart doesn't mean you're right and just cause your right doesn't mean you shouldn't be smart.
by the way i'm a Christian creationist. full deal; 6 days, 6000 years, flood.. the whole bit.

You know, I totally agree with you. I think part of the problem is that both sides, evolutionist and creationist, (and there are more sides to the puzzle) usually argue from emotion, or from things they were taught 10, 15 years ago. I'm reading the book The Case for a Creator, by Lee Strobel. He was an atheist, made so partly by evolutionist stories from high school and university. Later his wife became a Christian, and he decided to actually research current scientific and philosophical ideas, and how well evolution was supported. He was shocked to find that most of the major evolutionary "proofs" have long since been disproved, or have actually turned out to show, even more than ever, the intricate and exact design of the universe, pointing to an intelligent designer. At least, not a random accident. It's an amazing read.

if you get to watch the drdino stuff it's pretty interesting. lots of cheesy graphics (andrew just about lost it) and hovind is an Fundementalist ass, but it's interesting stuff.
you can download it from the website i think.
