Creation theory is irrelevant without the belief in the creator and the narrow-minded, rigid, literal misinterpretations of biblical allegory. It is a religious argument.
I deeply respect everyone's right to believe whatever they choose, be it the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the world is flat or creationism. But trying to use public education or the violence of law to force those beliefs on others threatens religious freedom.
We are not the center of the universe. We live on a small planet in a minor galaxy in an infinite universe. Insignificant? Humility isn't just a virtue. It's acceptance of reality.
Only by respecting and celebrating our differences can we survive on this fragile, life-giving planet. the ethnocentric, self-righteous intolerance of the Religious Reich threatens the human race's ability to live together and survive. Christianity isn't a giant hammer for smashing everyone into the same mold. Indeed, the unconditional,non-judgemental love and respect found in the Gospels are the key to the physical survival and the spiritual elevation of the human race.
Finally, a question for the biblical literialists: If Adam and Eve were the first humans on earth, with whom did their children mate? Monkeys?
