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).

(tm) by christians, eh?
