I'm always astounded at the reasoning or lack there of of creationists. Aaron, you share 98% of your DNA with chimpanzees, which means that humans and chimpanzees had a common ancestor. Additionally, your DNA is shared more or less in different quantities with every living creature on the planet, which again means that humans and all other living things on this planet had a common ancestor, which was not Adam and Eve. Then there is the fossil record, with its extensive catalog of specimens and links between specimens going back millions of years. The theory of evolution has been tested, and these links continue to be tested for the veracity. Then we have the myriad modern animals, which carry evolutionary vestiges, such as whales with hip bones, etc. Aaron's God, which I assume is the judeo-christian model, is the model of capriciousness. Aaron, I'm sure would have us believe that Jesus is the only means of salvation, yet when God was establishing this link for salvation, he neglected to tell everyone on the Asian continent, African continent, Australian continent, and the entire Americas with regard to this religion. The only people who were aware of it, we're a small group of herders in an insignificant part of the Middle East. Of course these shepherds concocted a myth, of which little-to-no archaeological or historical evidence can be found for their Exodus from Egypt, Solomon's Temple, the destruction of inhabitants in Judea, and the list goes on and on. Aaron and all other creationists, mock those of us who believe in science, because we believe that chemicals, amino acids, eventually created proteins and other things which were the building blocks of life. Their answer to this question? God made it all. However, where did God come from? Who created God? How long has God been in existence? Did God just spring into being from nothing? At least I can study the building blocks of life, and look at theories which would support the combination of those building blocks into life which eventually evolved into human beings, religionists have a larger problem in that they have no evidence whatsoever to show me as to where, how, and from whom, did God spring into existence. They say we must accept it on faith, yet, their faith is not evidence, it is ignorance.

To say that God did it just another way of saying that you don’t know, since no one can define or understand God.

To say that everything, including life just sort of fell together on accident is also just to say that you don’t know, since there’s no conclusive evidence that things can come into existence by accident.

If I were Editor.. I’d have you break it into paragraphs, warn the owner (of the newspaper), then run it as a rebuttal to Aaron’s arrogant letter proclaiming ‘the ignorance of those worshiping science.’ 🙂
