I think that believing in Creationism is a failure in critical and logical thinking.
So basically, you say it's OK to believe in a lie?
How is it, that some people find it so hard to accept that we're basically animals?
To repeat myself: The existence of evolution does not mean that there is no "god".
It may just be that the mind of "god" is WAY beyond our understanding. And it's idiotic to argue - and needless to say, kill each other - over something that we cannot possibly understand, explain or prove.

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

Your post is a perfect example of how belief in a god and the the belief in evolution could co-exist, within someones personal belief structure.
It's odd to me that for some this is almost as bad. Eg: Fundamental Creationists. Or people who take the bible, 100% literally.edit on 9-12-2010 by TruthAboveIgnorance because: (no reason given)
I have no issue with personal spirituality. I actually recommend it. I personally contemplate and ponder the concept of a greater organization and even unfathomable consciousness throughout the multiverse
Hell, such conversations are my favorite philosophical discussion to have

I find -religion-, aka, the established rulebook with deities, angels, "science" and other such stuff to be a distraction to the seeking, a corruption to the search, and an insult to the intellect of those truely wanting to uncover the (potentially impossible) nature of everything (Everything meaning...everything. The cosmos, the potential univeral membranes, etc).

I also love pondering and considering Extraterrestrials (this is relevant).
I therefore am very skeptical of claims...you see, I don't feel the need to call every satellite and flicker of light in the sky a alien and ignore any opposing argument.

The faster we can rid ourselves of religion in public discource, the faster we can truely understand the true nature of the cosmos, and who knows...we might just find signs of patterns and order beyond our current comprehension.

What you said there in that quote basically sums up why Creationism shouldn't be in science classes, because we have no evidence supporting the stories. I encourage you to take your own advice - there's no evidence for Creation so leave it alone. Stories are not empirical evidence and right now stories is all Creationism has. Evolution on the other hand has mountains of empirical evidence.

By the way we do know that humans built the pyramids, we're just not 100% decided on which method they used. There are several different methods that have been proposed.

Creationism and evolution overlap each other but technically they are independent branches of study; aka topics!
Creationism and evolution overlap each other
Lets just say creationism= science on steroids and is millenia more advanced!
Did you know about the pyramids in china, central america, south america and the pyramids on mars?

No they don't.
Evolution says that bio-diversity is the product of gradual genetic variation. Creationism says that life and bio-diversity are the project of an supernatural being willing or speaking things into existence. The differences are night and day, one (Evolution) is natural and the other magical. Evolution has evidence in support and Creationism must be believed solely on faith and against all evidence to the contrary.

Creationism and to date every religion requires a complete dismissal of evolution to explain the origin of species on planet earth.
They must disregard any and all scientific understanding..that is the actual intent topic of this whole thread.

Your discussing something belonging in Cosmology and theoretical physics. Evolution in this thread is about mud to blood...and that is a very exacting science...some holes still, but its a relatively young study...still, within a very short time, tons upon tons of evidence, and proof, has been given.
