I'm sorry Don.  You're a very smart fellow.  But I

I don't believe this is true at all.  There are
countless highly regarded scientists that would beg to
differ with you, and I'm not just talking about Chuck
Colson and Nancy Pearson.  I'm a pretty open minded
guy, and I've seen a truckload of good evidence that
points away from evolution.
I don't see how you can accuse creation science of
being "hypothesis-driven" and defend evolution as real
science when it is indeed the most religiously-biased
"science" I have ever seen.

But that doesn't nullify it.

Same here. :)

Actually, I'm not really looking to argue this,
anyway.  I may, however, at some point in the future
toss some questions your way privately when I get more
time to do more digging and learning.  You are a
pretty smart fellow.  Do ya mind?
