But my point is that science cannot ever address creation because it
fundamentally defies logic. God and Event#1 are synonymous. Creation
demands a leap of faith.

Dave E and I have been discussing a point of semantics very similar to what Im
about to propose, but please bear with me...
It just occurred to me that to say that one has faith that God and Event#1 are
synonymous is not appreciably different from assuming that God and Event#1 are
synonymous. Faith, in this formulation, is basically equivalent to assumption,
and I guess that explains why creationists are (to me) so maddeningly
comfortable with circular arguments on this subject. It also may explain (I
nearly typed expalin which I guess would mean former Pythoner) why the more
ardent fundamentalists are so unswayed by contradictory evidence; if theyve
already assumed the arguments conclusion, then any further debate is
irrelevant to them, even if their assumption is baseless.
I probably should have realized this long ago, but until you used synonymous
there, it didnt occur to me.
Dave!
