Evolution V Creation

[chatpilot]

I get that you don't agree with common descent, but my contention is that falling back on the religious explanation makes absolutely no sense at all. What surprises me most is that most of the theists I have met on this site seem very intelligent which is more than I can say for the ones I meet in person from time to time. I find clinging to religious assertions based on faith is an abandonment of reason or a very incompatible compromise. We are all classified as mammals and in essence are part of the animal kingdom. The whole I am a creation of god thing just seems like an extension of mans arrogance. We want to be more than an animal we want to be the supreme creation etc. But in the end like it or not we are just like the lowliest ant or slug of the earth, we live and we die just like everything else on this earth.
