This is the thing.

If you want to believe that God exists, sure, you can do that. But if 
you want to claim that this is a scientifically verified fact... erm, 
no. No it is not. Get lost!

Perhaps people misunderstand what science is. Science isn't the study of 
what is true, it is the study of what we can *prove* to be true. God may 
actually exist - but since it is impossible to prove or disprove this, 
the question is outside the remit of science.

And another thing. Every time somebody stands up and defends evolution, 
they start receiving death threats. When was the last time a good honest 
Christian received death threats from the scientists for daring to teach 
Genesis?
