Yes, it does. The study of evolution places faith on the abilities of man to figure out all problems and reasons given enough effort and time. Christians believe just the opposite. They see GOD as the only solution to everything. Both are accept on faith.

However, why would you single out evolution? Why not criticise Quantum Theory for placing faith on the abilities as well?

Btw, notice the artful dodging of LittleNipper who proclaimed a great deal about the ignorance of the modern scientific world. I gave him an opportunity to respond to *ANY* of Glenn Morton's posts on this board here, but he doesn't seem interested in that challenge.

Inquiring minds wonder whether Littlenipper is interested in anything other than spewing rhethoric. He claims facts are on his side, but doesn't seem to want to put that to the test. How convenient.

I do not read every post. I respond to what I read and feel so moved to respond to.

I do not have the time. Besides, Evolutionists attempt to paint GOD in their own image. Quantum Theory is just an excercise of the mind without insult...

[SARCASM]I’m surprised at you Nip… your arguments are usually so elegant. This argument is just rhetoric and sooo out of character for you. Are you ok?[/SARCASM]

Because they never have before, at least not the Creationists. Most Christians I've met are secure enough to laugh at themselves once in a while.

That's part of the reason I stopped telling YEC jokes: The YECs don't think they're funny and nobody else realized I was joking. ^_^

Should a white guy tell black jokes? Think about it. Evolutionists might consider not taking themselves too seriously, before they poke fun at the research of others.

[SARCASM]I agree, joking about the YEC makes you just like a racist my friend.[/SARCASM]:preach:

Actually, they do not. The river could just as easily have been the result of the rain and then buried during a later stage of the FLOOD. The explanations have all been stated before. They were not accepted then, why should they be rehashed again. Do me a favor, speak for yourself and I will treat you the same.

Just WHAT could they do TWO HUNDRED years ago to prove the Flood happened or not?

Why continue to pretend like this hasn't already been explained for your benefit in the past?

AND what exactly are uniformitarians doing today to prove the Flood never happened?

Nothing, obviously, because that has already been done two hundred years ago.

See, the thing is, geologists aren't working on some sort of agenda like that. They have no bias in this regard. Geologists study the earth out of curiosity not because of some sort of agenda. It just turns out that everything geologists find that would be relevant to this topic is a disproof of a global flood. There's no getting around that.

Did you even read the entire work and try to understand it? If so, please state your specific rebuttal to the arguments made.

Except no one believes in him anymore, except for Age of mithology geeks maybe, or was it greeks?

Which means that when Odin finally does reveal himself, he's going to be plenty mad that the world has forgotten about him.
