			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever I hear someone argue in favor of Creationism (or Intelligent Design) they always use at least 1 of the following 2 arguments:</p>
<ol>
<li>God (the designer) made us.  The Bible says so&#8230; therefore Creationism is true.</li>
<li>They attack the theory of evolution&#8230; therefore Creationism is true.</li>
</ol>
<p>Why don&#8217;t they ever try to prove their point of view?  Just declaring that your point of view is correct because you believe it to be doesn&#8217;t prove anything!  Apparently they&#8217;ve never heard of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question">circular logic</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>God created us because the Bible says so.</li>
<li>The Bible is true because God (indirectly and/or directly) wrote the Bible.</li>
</ul>
<p>Attacking someone else&#8217;s viewpoint doesn&#8217;t make yours credible!  All you did was tear their case down, you never built yours up!  Did you just forget to make your case?  Or did you not have one to start with?</p>
<p>Finally, I don&#8217;t get why Creationists always say that Evolution is <em>just</em> a theory.  Yeah&#8230; kinda like gravity is <em>just</em> a theory.  I always wonder if they mean to say hypothesis.  A theory starts its life out as a hypothesis and then through testing, observation, and revision is either thrown out or becomes a credible theory.  And Evolution, at this point in the game, <em>is</em> a credible theory.  Who knows, maybe one day it will be disproven&#8230; and maybe one day we&#8217;ll wake up floating in the air, free from gravity&#8217;s pull.  It could happen!</p>
