OK, so... why do fundamentalists get so worked up over this evolution thing?
The Bible says not a darned thing about *HOW* God created everything. And it's pretty easy to get around the "well, it says it only took a day to make ____" -- considering it also says "a thousand years are like a day and a day like a thousand years".
But all holy-textual concerns aside, it's like arguing about the tool.
No rational scientist would argue that God is provably nonexistent... due to the utter lack of hard data available!
No rational Christian would argue that God HAD to have used a non-evolutionary mechanism to create the world... due to the lack of scripture on the matter!
Evolution is the hammer.
Life on Earth is the spice rack.
Who build the spice rack? Who knows! But we know they used a HAMMER because there are hammer marks all over the wood. And nails were involved.
So just grow up and admit you don't know EVERYTHING! Both sides!

It's Magneto. He's busy moving Asteroid M around, the freak. Has no respect for compasses whatsoever. Somebody call the X-Men!
