Just because no creationist came and posted, doesn't limit the discussion. Their views, the ones that are actively trying to undermine the achievements of science, are well know and publicized

Why does everyone put down creationists? You know, people who maintain religion and origin from a supreme being? I bet that's the majority of the board, but I don't know for sure.

I'd bet money that the vast majority of the faithful are pretty ambivalent on the debate between scientists and creation activists, despite rkzenrage's attempts to lump all Christians into one camp.
Further I'd bet most Christians realize the old testament was a record of Jewish history, with the "before known" filled in to explain what they didn't know because humans are curious.
Rational people would understand that science has filled in the "unknown" with "known" and "highly likely".
I have no problem with keeping the faith and accepting knowledge as it becomes available. Neither has to negate the other.
