You know, I think statements like this are completely unfair:

"People who argue for creationism are modern variants of the same people who argued the earth is flat. I find the whole argument absurd. What is to say that evelution is not the way God intended. Bible literalists are clueless."

To me, this speaks volumes at how much research this person has done into the argument that Bible literalists make for creationism. There are many highly intellegent scientists that are also creationists, but most people don't hear of them. I think everyone should have open minds and at least be willing to look at both sides instead of belittling others and acting arrogant just because they disagree. Check out these links and see if maybe they give you some good questions you haven't thought of yet.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

An interesting book on the evaluation of the Creationist viewpoint is:
