Zuffen;
2 Thoughts...

1) First the big issue that I have with the "creationists". I agree that many "Creationists" don't seem to know much about science and argue pretty unreasonable points. Since they do make the wilder claims within the Christian community, they also tend to get more press which is unfortunate. I went to listen to person make what would be widely considered to be a "creationist" presentation at my church and walked out during the intermission because of many of the very issues that you mention. (Incidentally, it was based on the idea that certain fossils have been found that travel vertically through the different strata -- thus showing that the different strata were put down at one time -- ie. during a great flood. If anyone knows anything about this subject pro or con, I be interested in seeing it.) It didn't dim in the least though my belief that God created the Universe. It just also confirmed in my mind that within that Universe there are people (both believers and non-believers) who don't seem to know how to use the senses that God gave them to good affect.

2) The big issue that I have with the evolutionists (including the pieces that you quoted above) is that they seem to spend far more lines on "negative debating" what they claim to be the evolutionists view rather then focusing on addressing any questions posed about their own position. Kind of like when politicians running for office spend more time telling you stupid their opponents views are rather then putting forward in a strong fashion their own agenda.
