And as for narrow minds, evolutionism excludes the design , creation explanation a priori ........can't allow".....a divine foot in the door..."

It's not narrow mindedness that excludes design - it's simply the demonstrable absence of any divine foot in the door.

You may well believe the universe was created by Santa Claus in 1974 despite the fact that a lot of us were born some time before that. You may say that reality is an illusion on the part of Satan to test our faith. That if we pass, it's all iced buns and an eternity of Cliff Richard; but if we fail, we'll be handed over to Mother Theresa and her legion of priapic priests.

You may believe Santa ordain all this; yeah, even that he came down to earth on the 9th day to be aborted from a virgin's womb whereupon his foetus fed on sewage until 12 jolly dons nailed him to a christmas tree on Xmas morn whereupon the penguin wept in her piety even as Mother Theresa withheld the paracetamol.

You may believe this to be the reason Santa created the 14 moons of Neptune and named each of them after an apostle; and that he created the tardigrades to watch over the faithful as they sleep, whilst He made eye-worms to torment heretics & homosexuals whom he also created; both male and female created he them.

Happily, faith has nothing to do with empirical reality. Best we keep the two things separate.
