I just realized, and I'm sorry for the delay, I just read this post, this site
http://www.icr.org/pubs/imp/imp-327.htm that one of the creationists posted. I laughed a good 1/4 of the way through it, especially the way they portray evolutionists. Subtle things such as mentioning Darwin with Marx, Stalin, and Hitler...come now, is this really necessary? Much of his information is unfounded and I don't think the author has read anything regarding the fundamentals of evolutionary theory. It's just an intellectual form of an insult. Asking to prove evolution is just as difficult (less, obviously) as proving creation. Though there is far more evidence on the evolutionary side, humans are notoriously stubborn creatures, and this battle with rage for centuries more. "Lumbering, clumsy logic..." "Lumbering and clumsy" logic is by far better than the absence of logic entirely.
Einstein's Gulf was a horrible representation to use in this particular case. "...non-living chemicals sprang to life which eventually evolved abstract thought..." We are living creatures capable of abstract thought, due to non-living chemicals. Pull any part of the human body into it's seperate elements, no part is living. It is when these are combined into a specific order that it becomes "living". Our abstract thought processes are due to chemical and electrical firings within the brain. Serotonin, a "hard object" becoming an abstract idea. Unless I misunderstand, Einstein's Gulf is being grossly misinterpretted in this case.
This is my first post in this forum, and I'd like to make clear I do not discredit God. I am Agnostic, the furthest thing from being Atheist. The universe, space itself, the energy involved in the Big Bang; it all had to have come from somewhere, and without a scientific explanation, I turn to a God as I know many of you on this forum have.
