Dave, I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about what
evolutionary theory is. I would encourage you to step back from the
evolution:creation debate, and try and look at the theory of evolution from
within a scientific framework. The theory of evolution has nothing
whatsoever to do with the presence or absence of God (or god or gods or
Yggdrasil's), and if it has been shown to you thusly, it's been misrepresented.
thanks,
James
