While Biological Evolution is almost settled scientifically, the idea of the origin of the Cosmos is far from settled.
Critical thinking can go both ways, and should not be used as a means to deify human intellect while debunking the idea of a Creator.
Scientists should stick to science and believers should stay out of the classroom of inquiry.

The Logic Behind The Debate
Percy writes:
There comes a point with many creationists where their arguments escape the tug of rationality and logic and fly free into mysterious realms where meanings take impossible trajectories and jumbled conclusions flit every which way.
And when has any argument ever been settled without logic and rationality? Even arguments pertaining to belief?
