Subject: theory or belief

creationists would still tell you, evolution is just another belief (you
can't see it blah, blah..) but frankly they boil my blood. The evidence
is simply overwhelming.

- the earth is very old
- genes can get switched on or off to get ancestral types
        salamanders/axalotl
        insects (ancestral types had more legs)
- parallel evolution
        octopus eye (backwards compared to ours)

I think what really upsets me though is the blind fervour of the real
hard-cases who do things like looking for Noah's Ark :-
        where did all the food go?
        where did all the plants go?
        where did all the shallow shore species and fish go (think about
it)
        who repopulated the earth with plants to feed everybody when the
flood went away
        how did they rescue things like kangaroos from places they'd
never heard of

It just seems to be a basic denial of ecology and the right to think,

ps better try an learn some openGL I suppose
