"maybe you need to use some of that extra reading to demonstrate the evolutionism you so passionately believe in."

More like 'acceptance' rather than 'passionate belief' (it's you that does passionate belief, pete). And you are as capable of reading the relevant texts as I am. It's high time that you educated yourself properly - rather than parroting all of that creationist nonsense. You go away and read about the philosophy of science and then Dawkins, Gould et.al. - and then we might have something to talk about. But you won't do any such thing, will you?

Finally, let's get back to that fundamental question that you chose to ignore:

If scientists make assumptions about the 'unobservable' they are just plain wrong ... but if biblical fundamentalists do so, that's OK because they have something called 'faith'? Have I got that right? Remind me what 'faith' is, pete.
