and one more post before I'm out for the night. I just realized that my posts could be interpreted as claiming intelligent design as the only theory of creationism. This of course isn't the case, there are many different variations on the general theme of creationism, but I chose intelligent design because one of the most common arguments I've come accross from creationists is that the universe involves too many complexities and sequesnces all with a specific function to have come into being merely by chance, and therefore must have been created by a higher being embodying the characteristics of Godhood. My post was to reason why this specific argument simply doesn't hold, and is utimately senseless. As for creationism in the broader sense, as of yet, it is impossible to disprove creationism, as is is impossible to prove it. On the flip side, it is still impossible to prove or to disprove evolution.
