Creationism is a matter of faith and so (conveniently) is exempt from the requirement of evidence.

Personally, I don't see the two ideas at odds and I very comfortably accept both. Evolution makes perfect sense and you don't have to look too hard to see it everywhere. But there is nothing in the theory of evolution that disproves (to me) God or divine creation.

I just erased a three paragraph diatribe addressing those who would advance the argument that evolution DOES contradict (or cannot co-exist with) creationism - I'll save it in the event a Cellarite elects to advance that argument.

For me, its far from "either-or" but it IS either or for some folks and some institutions (e.g., the Kansas Board of Education).

In any event, I think its an interesting topic.
