Tim: "But Soilguy and those disagreeing with RareBit, are you being narrow and dogmatic in your approach to rationality and the universe"
Tim, there's no disproof that the universe is sustained by the will of God, nor, if it had a beginning, that it came into existence by the will of God. Some things are unknowable, and that's where faith comes into play. If you share that faith, I congratulate you and wish you well; but Darwinian evolution has nothing whatever to do with a denial of the existence of God. It's simply a process that has been observed and thoroughly verified, just as it's been observed and verified that water turns to ice when it gets cold enough. What creationists choose to do is interpret the Bible literally, then impose their dogma upon reality. If that interpretation were to require that water never froze, then they would be compelled, by dogma, to claim that all the observations regarding ice were wrong. Science, on the other hand, is not dogmatic; it continuously questions and re-examines its hypotheses and theories - but if it's dogmatic to say that water turns to ice, then perhaps you have a point.
