I believe you yourself made the point earlier that science is constantly changing. The difference is that you assume that evolution is true and base all your arguments on that, whereas I assume that the Bible is true. There are many questions that science cannot answer and there are many questions that are still unanswered by evolutionists, such as where did the original matter come from? As I said earlier, nothing comes from nothing.

My point was that much of the science that forms the foundation for evolution also forms the foundation of all science and HOW they then apply the knowledge in our real world. The 'Creation Science' uses the knowledge in a manner that cannot be applied to reality in the manner ALL the sciences use it.

The difference is that you assume that evolution is true and base all your arguments on that, whereas I assume that the Bible is true.

I actually don't assume evolution to be true in the same manner as you assume the Bible to be true. Those that promote 'Creation Science' believe as you do and all assumptions and beliefs concerning science MUST fit their understanding of the Bible as literal.

In reality evolution is not an important issue. I don't view the belief of evolution is a 'fact' and I don't believe it is 'proven'. I am a little more careful in my statements concerning 'proof', theory and knowledge in science.

My biggest concern is the abuse of science and the effect of wide spread intellectual dishonesty in religion doctrine has on the science and technology of the future.

The arguement in the article on Time and space is a classic issue. A very weak dishonest arguement is presented using scientific principles like 'event horizon' and 'time dilation' in ways the have no logical or real reference to their actual meaning and application. Then they end the arguement by saying you must believe this because any other choice would undermine the belief in the Bible as the literal infallible word of God.

The source of existence is a seperate arguement and not related to the evolution issue. Yes, part of the creation vs. evolution definitely deals with the belief in God and religion. I personally believe in God and the answer to the question of 'nothing from nothing' is answered, but other scientist deal with the question in their own way.
