Dinosaurs lived with man, really!

I’m so excited that real people commented! I enjoy a debate, but I always get frustrated because I feel I’ve got good points to make and am never able to get them out well enough. My thing with the whole evolution versus intelligent design versus Gumby created the universe is that the argument injects too much moralism (Ok, Word is trying to tell me that moralism isn’t a word, but it is to me! So there.) into what is and isn’t science. I understand that there’s a debate about evolution, but based on the other theories, it seems to fit best into what we know. I think religion is a wonderful thing for an individual to have, but it has no place taking over every debate in this country. And masking creationism by renaming it and leaving out any specific reference to “God” (Christian God?) and then calling it a whole new take on the origins of life is crap. The only thing new about it is that it can maybe circumvent the legal system (or at least what has already been litigated in regards to creationism). I mean creationism, when looked at by any rational person, looks ridiculous! The earth is only 6000 years old, dinosaurs lived with man, everything was the way it was….um, ok? Carbon dating is a myth. It’s put out there by people trying to discredit God…...so does that mean all the established rules about radioactivity and half-lives are false? By watering down creationism to turn it into a vague, “maybe so maybe not” theory just so that it can evade established precedent is not something I’m comfortable with (besides the fact that it’s a bunch of bunk).
