As someone who believes in a greater intelligence out there in the universe - this kind of clown show is embarrassing. It makes anyone who believes in God look like an idiot. It deepens the divide between people over something that there really isn't anything absolutely definitive about. He's looking for some kind of 100% proof - which there isn't (and which sounds funny coming from some one who would probably tell you to "rely on faith". ) - you can't prove the creation anymore than you can "prove" that God DOESN'T exist.

The whole thing is an embarassment. It's sad really. Instead of just engaging in discussion and working together to try to increase our collective, mutual human understanding, it's a semantics war to divide people and make a spectacle.

ugh.
