Subject: RE: BS: Alternative to Science??
Thank you for responding to my post, pete. Nevertheless, you have not addressed the issues I raised, namely:

"But when you post on here all that you seem to come up with are 'criticisms' of current scientific knowledge. But even if (big IF) you, and your creationist chums, have found genuine inconsistencies, they DO NOT SUPPORT YOUR CASE. First, you cannot look for holes in the scientific data and then just insert God into the holes. Second, the biblical description of creation cannot represent the sole resolution of any inconsistencies that you may find (or think you've found); there may be a plethora of other explanations.
So, by continuously posting criticisms of current scientific knowledge you are wasting your time - you will not convince anyone of anything ..."

You certainly will not convince me because the biblical explanation that you espouse makes no sense in the light of current knowledge (incomplete though that may be). And to put it as bluntly as I can, I do not trust the motives of religious fundamentalists - history (not to mention current events) suggests that such people are very dangerous.
