we believe evolutionism keeps people from God...
...i note that we do have some civil posters and dont want to tar all with the same brush


It is not civil to claim that "evolutionism" (your term) keeps people from God. It is not civil to lie, and it is not civil to smear in that way. For starters, quite a lot of believers accept the fact of evolution. You haven't even got all your own misguided compatriots onside, pete. The only reason for your saying that is that you're actually scared that the searing truth of evolutionary theory will prick your creationist bubble. "Evolutionism" is a piece of science, not dogma, and it does not concern itself with you and your God. It concerns itself, as does all science, with looking at evidence and seeking the truth. Your God is way beyond the remit of evolutionary science. He's there only because you carefully put him there. If he really did exist he'd be absolutely mad with you for refusing to use the mighty, enquiring brain he endowed you with. But don't worry. You're perfectly safe and won't be hearing from him anytime soon.
