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.

As it does reflect the behaviours of Creationists, Christian and
otherwise, if it doesn't reflect the views of that population it only
raises questions about their hypocrasy.

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).

According to whom, Creationists? Scientists make no such claim.

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!

I happen to like Warriors, as I'm not in much of a hurry. Our club is
acquiring a couple of Cirrus SR-22s, and I'm not all that interested in
them. We also have a few (Bo)nanzas (to answer another poster's question
about "Bo"), and I have yet to go up in those either.
