Creation myth - BORING!

Today I saw a creationist blog letter to the Deaditor of the Windsor Star. It makes me angry. Very angry that better knowing people sit around accepting what these Dinosaurs spew out in favor of an already discredited Creation theory. Dinosaurs.. Wait, in their fantasy world Dinosaur are just a magical invention. What is very disturbing is that these people claim to be Christians.
... A fact. The foundation of evolution theory is Genetics. The field of Genetics was essentially discovered, founded and defined by an Augustinian Monk. You can't get more Christian than that. And the Roman Catholic Church so notorious for being ultraconservative when it comes to change. They threatened Restoration scientists with ex-communication. They still refuse to allow for married priests or ordaining women on premises best described as cockamamie. Yet. Yet the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope even have acknowledged the established fact of Evolution. The Bible simply a wonderful guide to the spirit. 
... Without giving the full 5000 pagedescription of Law vs. Theory. A theory is a framework around whichscientific facts accumulate to a solution. A law is a framework bywhich all paths of study agree on the theory. Those in denial fail tounderstand that.
... For instance, Newton postulated atheory of Motion which over time was thoroughly studied to the pointwhere all studies substantiated the scientifically assembled factsand they all agreed conclusively. Then after further debates tochallenge the solutions, everyone agrees. That can be called a Law.Hence the Laws of Motion.
... Evolution is a scientificallyproven fact. Get over it. So why is it still called a Theory? Firstand foremost there still a lot of those who swear by the bible asabsolute truth and dogmatically adhere to a mythical framework ofearth's life called creation. Some have engaged in sophistry bytwisting selective facts to fit their universal construct. In otherwords, they write the conclusion then cherry pick facts to supporttheir argument while ignoring the established facts that don't. Sodesperate they are they call it intelligent design to substantiatethe existence of a mythical tribal god(s).
... A plurality of Americans stillbelieve in the creation myth rationalizing the belief by saying itsin the Bible. Crazy. Unfortunately, especially in the USA thesepeople have money. Universities need money and donations so theyalways create a program to teach creationist imaginations. So nouniversity, no group of universities are going to stand up and agreethat yes Darwin's Theory should be now defined as a Law. Its cynical.Yet the money keeps coming in.
... Scientifically proven, evolution isan established fact. Apart from the financial considerations why isEvolution still a scientific theory. The existence, the frameworkDarwin provided, is supported by every credible observation. The onlyblock that remains is ascertaining and defining the mechanisms ofevolution.
... Years of observation drives theconclusion that three camps exist putting forward the method thatdrives evolution. There is of course Darwinian Evolution which isbasically accepted by most people. Most people outside the United States that is.

The existence, the frameworkDarwin provided, is supported by every credible observation. The onlyblock that remains is ascertaining and defining the mechanisms ofevolution. Its sort of looking at a car. The car is there. But justhow is it powered? Without knowing that you can't conclusively saythat it is a car.
... Years of observation drives theconclusion that three camps exist putting forward the method thatdrives evolution. There is of course Darwinian Evolution which isbasically the prime framework. Darwin observed that the environment(food,climate,existing species) plays a key role in evolution.Generations develop traits to suit the environment.
... There is also Lamarck's Theory ofEvolution which holds that one generation passes on traits based uponits environment and events. Common traits develop and are passed downthrough generations. Those traits that aren't needed eventuallydisappear.
... The third is the Chaos Evolutionwhich few humans like. Life began by total accident from mergingvectors, lightening, water , temperature, chemicals necessary tocreate RNA/DNA sequences. Further the manner of species developmentis more random. Every generation develops random abnormalitiesdeveloped by the environment or carried by viruses or shared DNAespecially between microbes.
... All three concepts probably can bemerged because there are natural examples of each. For instanceMollusks, some fish, insects have to pass on some memory experiencefrom one generation to another. They have to or Cuttlefish, Octopus,Salmon wouldn't evolve into different species especially if thespecies migrates. Darwin's framework for evolution works for the restof species. Meteor impacts, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, tornadoes,hurricanes, fire, landslides ... and so on, cause chaotic evolutionwhere nascent species or species at a location gets wiped out andneighboring survival species fill in the environmental niche. AgainChaos holds to a more random mutations in a generations get passed onby chance if environmentally compatible.
... And yes each variation ofevolutionary theory carries major implications for the human race.For instance, in journeying across the deep voids of space instead ofcryogenics prolonging crews life span, a capsule containing stemcells, surrounding a group of core DNA which contains cells from eachorgan plus a group of precursor nerve cells that carry imprintedmemories for the individual cells. Basically human seeds.
... Instead of massive vessels carryinga compatible environment traveling near light speed journeying overto a planet with favorable environmental factors that fits thecriteria for our planets life form (s). The challenge of a large craft like this are enormous.
... The small vessels can go further, have better survivability resist radiation. They reach a favorable planet and for lack of a betterword, hatch. The hominid form that is generated by the vesselsprogram is compatible with the new planet but carries all thememories and skills necessary to build a human colony. The size ofeach ship would be about the size of a go-cart.
... So this would mean little or nowater, oxygen, food for the journey, perhaps a starter packet ofsupplies. As a result, the resources needed to create one huge spacevessel to go to one destination, hundreds of these vessels could becreated to go in squadrons to many destinations.
... In the Darwinian Evolutionframework, scientists can mathematically extrapolate the presence offavorable life forms and planets throughout the universe. In Chaostheory, the chance of encountering another life forms is very remote.There may be many planets with favorable environments but Earthmathematically may be the only source of life that humans will everencounter. This applies to the Milky Way Galaxy. The Chaos theoryargues with the premise that the Darwinian context for life'sgeneration of life is not in the hundreds of chances but tens ofBillions to one.
... To conclude this. People who haveconfined themselves to the Book of Genesis really have robbedthemselves of embracing the exciting dynamic story of evolution. Theyare locked in a room of their own making. Evolution is not theory.Evolution is a fact. Its called a theory not quite a Law.
... King James really needed betterwriters. In comparison to the Evolution Theory (s), the Book ofGenesis, is really Blah, Boring and Bogus.
