re: #401 Sharmuta

Good question. This is going to sound like a cop out, but I don’t have a good answer off hand. It’s wrapped up in worldview, faith, personal experience, and a host of other things. Creation/evolution is a small (but important) part of a bigger picture. Some elements of that bigger picture would have to be rocked for me to change my view. That doesn’t mean I not willing to look and listen. For either side of the argument, were primarily talking about historical proof, not repeatable, experimental science, and I find plausible arguments (not proof mind you) based on physical evidence for my beliefs.

PS. again, using a bit of shorthand here in the interests of space and needing to get back to work

PSS. I know there are plenty of holes in my answer in terms of vocabulary, “proof”, “theory” and all that, just trying to not avoid the question altogether.
