You know that thing about the ninth configuration that creationists like to cite? The thing about how amino acids couldn't form on their own, and that the chances of it occurring randomly were incredibly unlikely? Well, Homer Jacobson has retracted the scientific paper used to justify this belief. Specifically, he cites the bit about Amino acids as not exactly the case: the amino acids would be extremely unlikely to form without a catalyst. What he's saying is that you can't just dump the chemicals, and create an amino acid. you need some form of energy. (Something the early earth had in abundance)
So, make that yet more for the near iron-clad case evolution has. Even I was fooled. I'm with Pete Townshend on that one.
But, I am confused about the kind of conservative Christian who'd want to argue for creation as science. I'd think that they'd be all in support of Mike Huckabee for president, but they're instead waiting for Giuliani to become one of them. I'd think they'd all want to move to Kansas,where they own some of the legislature, then cede from this godless nation, but the only movement to do something like that is aiming for the Carolinas. I'd guess that they'd be looking to heal the sick, feed the hungry, and clothe the poor, and love us all as much as they could, but instead, it's nothing but 'God hates Fags', shooting and bombing abortion clinics, declaring AIDS to be the wrath of a vengeful god, and stockpiling guns. i'm sorry, but i don't see much Christian in the Christian conservatives, but I guess i'm confused.
