As far as I can tell, there really only seems to be two world views as to how life began. We have the evolution model and we have the creation model. One of these two hypothesis has got to be the answer--unless you know of a third philosophy?

The truth is that both models are really nothing more than philosophy. Evolution, in the macro-sense cannot be tested or repeated in a laboratory any more than creation can. Yet, both of these hypothesis can be tested by studying the evidence left behind--our earth, and the universe for that matter.

Which ever model the evidence better supports, is the most likely answer to the age old question, where does life come from? That is the only question that evolutionists and creationists are actually debating. As far as microevolution is concerned--a variation within a species, there is no argument. That kind of evolution is predictable, testable and agreed upon by both models.

Students should be given the freedom to consider and study both possibilities...only then is critical thinking really being honored. Otherwise, our children are being indoctrinated by one theory.

hmsbeagle, that's kind of funny to hear you say when in fact it is the evolutionists who want the doors closed to any other possible theories.

I agree that students should have access to all the possible theories and sciences. We should start by educating people as to just what Creation Science is. By your post, as well as by many others, I can see that most folks are misinformed even to the simple understanding of Creation Science and what it is.
