More to the point, evolution and belief in God are entirely compatible. Creationists need to wake up to the fact that they do not have the final say on the attributes and capabilities of God.

So I guess through "divine intervention", God gathered up all of the fossils of those zillions of "missing links" (that Darwin said must exist if his THEORY is correct) so some people would be tricked into believing the Bible. That God is a tricky fellow, isn't He? ;-)

Evolution posits that there are likely to be transitional organisms as one species evolves from another. It does not hold that there are going to be large numbers of such individuals and large numbers of fossils from them, nor does it hold that those fossils will be preserved and found.

If one accepts that the omnipotent God can do anything then one must accept just about any possible creation story. A rational being would also weigh the probabilities as well as the possibilities.

While working through the Bayesian probability tree one should make good use of Occum's razor especially for the P(D | H) terms.
