"And I really can't believe that "creationism" poses any threat to evolution (evolutionism?). After all, the fittest will survive....won't they?"

And here is part of our failure to accurately communicate important details that support our position... or maybe even the position itself.

No dictator or polical party has been able to repeal the Law of Gravity. Pass whaterver bill they want and gravity continues to operate. Now... is gravity a directive by a supernatural being or is it the function of the nature of space/time and governed by the extrapolated rules that define the Law of Gravity?

When mankind reached the moon, they got the opportunity to perform the classic physics experiment... dropping the feather and hammer at the same time. Without the interference of an atmosphere, the objects were observed to undergo the same acceleration and strike the lunar surface simultaneously. Newton lived in the so called Age of Enlightenment and came up with his law of universal gravitation in the 1680's.   The lunar experiment was based upon the work of Galileo who had figured out much of the basics a century earlier than Newton's work.

Who was lucky not to be burned for heresy (like Bruno before him); and who was acclaimed by his peers? The difference in the two cases? Religious intolerance ruled during the lifetime of Galileo and much less so during Newton's.

Gravity went on as it has since the Big Bang... it's the affairs of humankind that was affected.

I have no intention of letting religous zealots to control science or medical research or decisions based on their silly superstitions.
