I think the crack pots are those who can look at the wonders all around us, and believe it all just happened. Sounds very fairy taleish to me.

It's easy to dismiss it all so quickly if you're not going to bother to examine or understand the underlying science, and instead brush it away in a wave of incredulity. Willfull ignorance is far easier to explain than a reasoned, learned position.

If someone tried to say the auto in their driveway just formed itself out of all the crap they had failed to clean out of the garage. Those who call us crack pots would call that person a crack pot too.

Well, of course. You've failed to describe any observed processes that would lead to such an occurance. Your analogy is totally invalid, yet you tout it about as some kind of proof of your intellectual superiority.

I have read the theories about evolution(now being taught to our children as facts rather than mere theories) and survival of the fittest and in my opinion they are as full of holes and overwhelmed by so many could not have happeneds, that in my opinion it should be listed under science fiction.

Each cell in this warm and functional human body could not survive outside a very limited range of temperature variation that can only be maintained by the temperature controls designed into this human body and that of other species.
It could not exists, except upon a planet, designed to supply it's every need.

I am comfortable with calling our creator, God, but am willing to leave it to others to call the creator what ever they wish. My problem is with those who rabidly demand that to have our intellect respected and not be called crackpots, we must agree with them that all the wonders around us, just happened.
