I think that it is important for everyone to understand that evolution does not require any belief. If it needs belief, then gravity needs belief. The theory of gravity is just a theory, so why aren't Radical Christians up in arms about gravity being taught in schools? Because it is obviously observable. no one disagrees that an apple will fall toward the ground if you drop it, because they can see it happen. One human lifespan is not long enough to see the "Evolutionary apple drop" so to speak.
Creationism, however, is rooted in religious dogma, and , for the most part, is believed in by those who haven't recieved the true facts of evolution. Because there can be definitive proof of evolution, but the story of creationism requires blind faith, all thinking, intelligent people should meausure the facts, and decide to use their brains, not to leave them at the door and follow blindly where another leads.

NAME one thing that Evolution can explain that creation can not.

Greek mythology is all false. There is only one God.And the Fact of creation is the truth. Evolution does not explain everything!! Creation does!!!
Christian mythology is also all false. Creation has no fact to it. Please prove me wrong.
Like I said explaining everything is not as important as expressing what is really going on, and Creationism dose not correspond to observations in nature.

Bacteria that eat nylon
and the fact that the genetic anscestor of those bacteria, when introduced into a nylon rich environment developed the same tendency
oh, and nylon is a man made substance
unless "creationism" to you has the exact same properties of evolution, it is bunk

Yes there is gravity, it cant be disproved. Evolution can be disproved.
"disproof" is not a real concept in logical discourse
you cannot disprove that there is teacup orbiting the sun between mercury and venus, do we then suppose it exists?
to show any support for creationism you will have to find items that can only be explained through divine intervention, which Behe calls irriducable complexity, which hasn't held up to any real science, but I'm sure you havn't seen too much of that

They did not evolve... They Adapted to there environment, there cellular structurer did not Chang, did it?
