"I have never denied the faith factor , shimrod. that's you, that's in denial.
but I did trust your scientific assessment that your wide experience and training had no bearing on evolution"

So let's just clarify things so far, pete: 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?

And no, I have no background in evolutionary biology but I can follow a scientific argument and have done a fair amount of background reading. You, on the other hand, appear to have had no scientific training and have done no background reading - except the stuff that you parrot from 'www.redneckcreationist.com'.
