Scientists make no such assumption. Your statement here is ridiculous and unsupported.

That's how it appears. Nobody is suggesting anything.. they are just assuming that it's suggesting evolution.. if it's that easy to assume then doesn't it have a reasonable arguement?

God gave humans the ability to have rational thought, and these 'followers' are dissalowing gods will???!!!! BLASPHEMY!!!

They're worried that their followers will one day wake up and see the real world, and not just what is written in a book because their lives are so pathetic and bad that they had to get structure in their lives from a group that wants to control everyhting about your life and make MONEY off of you.

The problem with idiots is that they jump into contentious discussions with false statements such as this one and stoke the flames of hyperbole without adding anything constructive to the conversation.

Stupid. The fossil record is one of the strongest arguments against evolution.

How? And try not to use the overwhelmingly refuted BS like irriducible complexity, cambrian explosion or transitional fossils. They've all been shown to be utter crap.

he's trolling.

The problem with religionists are they make assumptions about things they dont understand and can't entertain the possibility God used evolution to create the world.

That's not a scientists job. A scientists job is to look at evidence and come up with explanations of that evidence. When decent evidence of a god comes around, I'm sure they'll come up with a theory to explain it. Whether they think evolution is directed by a god or not should have no effect on the theories they come up with. It's kind of crazy that 74% of the science community has a lack of belief in a god (got that from Trivia Night at a bar, so I don't have a link to back that up).

I think a lot of religionists have problems with big numbers. Many of them seem to treat improbability the same as impossibility. They also don't realize that improbability over a long period of time becomes more and more probable.

Creationists are the kind of people who stick their fingers in their ears and yell "LALALALALALA!" whenever they are confronted with evidence that challenges their hard-held beliefs. They are a disgrace to humanity.

They have brains to think with. Not too hard to understand if you actually use yours.
