> I'm not a creationist zealot.
Well, now. If an evolutionist who stands up for the facts is an "evolutionary zealot," then a Creationist is just as surely a "Creationist zealot."
> man-centered ideology
... which evolutionism ain't. Humans are not central to this or any other branch of science. It is *religion* that attempts to set man up as somethign special... we are the center of the solar system, center of the universe, pinnacle of life in the universe. Eh. Whatever.
"Whatever??" LOL! Not such a scientific response there, orion.
You have 'religion' wrong, if you are referring to Christianity. We are a unique creation, but we are only a created being. God is the center of the universe, and Jesus Christ......God become man........who came to earth to redeem us from sin (Adam's.....and ours).
We are just the only part of that universe that has the ability to think, to reason, to create...........because we are in God's image.
Certainly even cold hearted scientists such as yourself recognize that humans are above plants and animals...........or are you one of those wackos that thinks lobsters have souls? ;o)
