Attention Creationists- Tic Toc, Tic Toc, Tic Toc
Before I point out the obvious, I’d like to precede this by noting how much Christian “bashing” really gets on my nerves. I think there’s a certain liberal hypocrisy in the way the other major religions of the world are treated (with a certain political correctness) while the Christians are just stepped on.
Weather or not I share their beliefs (I’m workin’ on it) is irrelevant. They deserve the same bleeding heart courtesies that other’s do. Just because they are the American majority does not negate them from that consideration. Granted, there are some serious wackos- abortion bombers, anti-gay activists, Pat Robinson- but for the most part they’re just good hearted Americans who happen to have a little faith.
With that being said, if you believe in creationism then you are dumb.
The problem (so far) with Evolution is the issue of the “Missing Link.” That never caused me much concern in the argument as I knew it was just a matter of time. Well, it could be that time is here-
Surprisingly the skull bears a striking resemblance to a modern day Barry Bonds.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia - Scientists in northeastern Ethiopia said Saturday that they have discovered the skull of a small human ancestor that could be a missing link between the extinct Homo erectus and modern man.
The hominid cranium — found in two pieces and believed to be between 500,000 and 250,000 years old — "comes from a very significant period and is very close to the appearance of the anatomically modern human," said Sileshi Semaw, director of the Gona Paleoanthropological Research Project in Ethiopia.
Surprisingly the skull bears a striking resemblance to a modern day Barry Bonds.

This is about the 15th "missing link" found so far. It's getting old, really.

Actually, every "missing link" has been disproven as a hoax or a mistake thus far...hence the term "missing." 'Twouln't be missing if it weren't. So, I wouldn't bet on it.
Also, the majority of world religions holds to creationism, it isn't just the Christians.
Is it easier to beleive that life spontaneously erupted from nonorganic material, or that that an all-powerful Creator did what He does best...Create?
I'll admit, on the surface and from a nuetral point of view, both are hard to swallow. But I think it takes more faith to beleive in spontaneous generation (i.e.: microbes evolved from...rocks and methane and water?) than it does to believe in a creator.
As a sub-argument, pretty much every Christian would probably beleive in micro-evolution (mutation within a species,) and not macro-evolution (i.e.: spontaneous generation.)
Gee Kirk, I wounder if you're trying to rankle me...;-)
