Bob, you missed my point. I wasn't saying that scientists can't believe in some aspect of creation theory. And I don't believe that science and religion can't mix. I was trying to point out the lack of logical/critical thinking represented in the jump from cute story to "evolution is wrong."
I *am* trained as a scientist, and I *am* able to find an acceptable middle ground between creation and evolution. I *believe* that a higher power (pick your favorite) put things into motion and continues to have a hand in things. I also *believe* that this higher power as you said, gave us a brain and a sense of humor (well, some of us).
That is what I *believe*, but I can't prove it. I makes sense to me given my life experience. If anyone else doesn't believe it that's fine. Since logical arguments CANNOT be applied to this case (other than to dispute some of the technical facts/assumptions), to use "logic" to "prove" either pure creation or pure evolution is in my mind falacious.
