>Hilmar,
>I would agree with you that the general level of science as taught in secondary and primary schools is dated. However, evolution is a different matter because it is not taught as Science but as Faith. Follow this thread and you will see the Faith of many who expouse evolution. Here is a faith statemnt - Time + Chance = Order. No matter how the issue is wrapped up in this or that theory or whatever Scientific terminology it remains a matter of Faith. However this is a strange Faith because those who hold it deny that it is Faith. One of the respondents went into a lengthy discussion of how cells were formed via Evolution. What he was presenting was purely theoretical, but he was presenting it as fact. I say theoretical because it is not disprovable. What is not testable nor disprovable must be accepted by Faith.

Calvin,

But surely you'll agree that Creationism is strictly and only based in "faith" and absolutely nothing else.
The theory of evolution, on the other hand, is always under scrutiny for confirmation or adjustment as may be needed by present enlightenments.

There is no such discussion allowed as regards the theory of Creationism.

I am confident that if science found something tomorrow that brought the current theory of evolution into serious doubt it would be widely discussed and possibly even tossed.
There is positively no way that the same can be said for the theory of Creationism. It is, it is absolute, and there is no room for discussion. Period!
