Wow. Just wow. The rampant ignorance in this thread is breath-taking. I'm getting the hell out of here before I go crazy.

Creationists still exist? Really? I thought we were past this sort of silliness.

Someone not knowing creationist still exist and knowing that some have a very sound mind is a statement of ignorance itself, is it not?

 

Sarcasm FTW.

I have no problem with people believing in Creationism, it's their right to believe whatever they like.

What I want Creationists to admit is that their entire argument is based on faith and faith alone. Evolution only piles more and more evidence in its corner as research into genetics improves. But, most importantly, it's based on the solid foundation of science where nothing is sacred and contrary information is not only welcomed, but often ends up changing the scientific community. Science is the antithesis to faith and one is the quest for knowledge while the other constrains it.

As I have no problem with people who believes in the mythical creature that supposed to have been the anestor of both ape and man. As the writer in my article points out often believing is seeing even with evolutionists. I do try to understand why Darwinist believes what they do and sometimes they make give reasons to believe what they do.

Also just because I have faith doesn't mean there isn't any sound evidence or reason behind my faith. True Faith is never alone.

There is ample evidence of a man-like creature that preceded homo sapien, we just haven't found the entirety of the links that lead back to an ape-like creature (but we have found several). That's not surprising given the extreme rarity of fossilized creatures and the specific situations that cause longterm preservation to occur. You're throwing out the baby with the bath water. There is plenty of evidence of evolution without bringing man in the equation.

BTW, I would love to see some of this sound evidence of your faith (at least you call it that).
