this cozy feeling fairy tale with a bearded guy in it, then we go and
kill or oppress people by the gazillions supposedly in the name of that
guy, but really for our personal gain, be it economic, political or
otherwise.

This is an inflammatory statement that does not reflect the views of
Creationists, however, debates on the subject normally lower to this level
of name calling very quickly. I don't take offence. In the 'Christian'
newsgroup I hang out in this topic is hotly 'debated' twice a year or so.
No resolution, just a whole lot of yadda yadda.


Scientist - We have no idea what was in the beginning, we'll keep trying
to make sense of it, but still have no idea, and that's a good thing,
too, because "We don't know" is an answer we can not only live with, but
one we wholeheartedly embrace.

If only all non-Creationists stated it this way. Most try to prove that
they have "The Answer" (tm).

Now, what sort of plane do you fly? I'm still stuck in a Warrior but the
school has installed an autopilot so I get to do a little sight-seeing!
