While I respect both sides of this argument, it is clear that both are so incomplete that the argument is moot. Creationism, Big Bang, they are both preposterous but at the same time both are valid (at least equally as valid). What if it turns aout that both are valid? Will half of the people be pissed off? Will the other half claim they were more correct than the other? That is just ridiculous. I got about 20-30 more years here and I do not have time to worry about this. If the Big Bang is right, then nothing really matters. If creationism is right, then I will go to hell with the knowledge that I excercised my GOD given right to make choices and decisions (and yeah, I'll probably be pissed off for being punished for exercising my rights), just as you will go to heaven under the same premise (and be blissful).

As a side note (actually bottom note) I have been undergoing treatment for leukemia for 2.5 years. I am most likely going to beat it (there are no assurances with any cancer) but I am doing good now. I should live out my life normaly with the exception that I will require treatment til the end. I have studied this disease and the circulatory and lymphatic systems for a while now and I must admit the complexity of these systems is mind boggling. It seems to be a stretch to conclude that it was accidental. No, I have not been BORN AGAIN. But, I do admit I am beginning to have doubts about randomness being reponsible for all that we know. But the last statement in the previous paragraph still applies.
