Whether you agree with someone's beliefs or not, you should be able to argue your points with out resorting to classless words.

I think that there is more at play here than meets the eye.
Why would a particular group (US evangelicals) wish to enforce their creed within the education system.
If we follow their argument through to it's natural conclusion, Adam and Eve and
Genesis are literally true and finite.
How can someone in 2005, suggest that every single line of Genesis, word for word, is literally true ?

As a Roman Catholic, I have always viewed, especially the Old Testament, as being an analogy.
Genesis states that the world and the entire universe were created in six days.
Six days.
Is that six, 24 hour days ?
If this is the case and the creationists would advocate that Genesis is literally true, how can the disparity between the age of the universe and the age of the earth be explained ?
Billions of years seperate the creation of earth and the creation of the universe ?

The creationist movement is essentially not about the word of God.
It is a politically motivated strand of US society which attempts to hi-jack the
Bible and to enforce it's (the creationist movements) world view upon other people, in the name of religion.

Right, Ma Redneck Hillbilly southern friends from below the Mason-Dixon Line, I'd like you give a warm cornbread and moonshine welcome to our latest friend Rafiki, jest the same as ya did for me (don't remember that one). You're all great apart from.........
So say Hello to him, I'm sure he'll learn a lot in the soapbox. I did, and a fat lot of good that is. At least I learn't you're sense of humour, and the appreciation of sarcasm as provided mainly by Peabody and his cartoon stick ups. You lot don't leave too many hooks for me, so I learnt to go about in a different way.
Y'all come back now.
