    The only thing that matters is that Evolution is science and creationism is not and thus it does not belong in a science classroom and thus it does not deserve equal footing to evolution in a science discussion, etc. Evolution has peer reviewed scientific articles. Creationism has zero.

    In fact, since many creationists think Evolution means every scientific idea they should really study first before entering this debate.

    How many times have we seen creationists argue that the Big Bang is part of Evolution?

    Entropy can decrease on local levels as long as the overall amount of entropy increases.

    There is not a contradiction.

    Do you have anything else to add?

    There is really no need to. The purpose of TalkOrigins is to debunk Creationist claims that contradict observations or facts.

    Such as the lie that scientists use Carbon 14 to date everything. Or the lie that evolution suggests that tigers can give birth to lions. The arguments made by creationists are often so low brow and ridiculous, they are laughable. What is frightening however, is how many people believe them.

    A person can believe in a creator and creation without rejecting evolution and making outlandish claims to justify that belief.

    So basically, there are no pro-creation arguments posted there.

    Both, creationist and evolutionist debunking each other are in a trap and at some stage they have to come down to a compromise or else both will be at two different ends and fail to measure the whole scale of truth

    Sorry, the truth is not determined by looking at two points and going somewhere in the middle. The truth lies at the truth, not where a compromise is met.

    I had a quick look at the evolution board there and minus the moderation it's no different than anywhere else - an example: a creationist starts a thread demanding proof of macro evolution, then 15 pages go by with repeated requests that he define macro-evolution, but he never does, so they close the thread. I haven't looked at any of the scriptural stuff yet.
