Our young friend from the female galaxy has a point. I have been involved in the creation - evolution argument for decades, and have yet to find a single person whose real reason for rejecting evolution was not religious. It might be an excellent study in psychology;
Kurt Wise has a PhD in paleontology, earned under Stephen J. Gould;
John Baumgardner earned his PhD in geophysics from UCLA. Both of them started out as commited young earth creationists, and both had every intention of using the knowledge gained in their PhD programs to prove the scientific validity of a young earth, and to falsify evolution. They both failed, and have retreated from mainstream science, still convinced that they cannot be wrong. Their religious convictions take precedence over every other thought, and there are plenty more where they came from, all with advanced degrees in physics, engineering, biology & related fields. Indeed, the anti-evolution discussion invariably turns into a discussion of science vs religion.
There are plenty of other places to look for debates and/or information along those lines. The
Talk.Origins Archive hosts a large number of articles defending mainstream evolution & the old age of the Earth, and also hosts a
collection of links to other pro- and anti- creationism sites. And if you want to get into an argument (some people do like that you know), then hop on over to the
talk.origins newsgroup, which is basically an anything goes free-for-all. Or visit one of the
many discussion boards, which are much like this one, only their focus is at least in part the debate between evolution & creation.
