I know 2 creationists that insist that evolutionist believe in the Rock God, how and why does a creationist interpret the belief in evolution and abiogenesis in this fashion? First, I thought a sarcastic remark would be there belief in the dust god, (God turning dust into man) but then thought that most people who believe in abiogenesis and evolution don't believe there is any god. What is your take?

As far as I know, Robert Plant has nothing to do with evolution. Interesting idea though.

I agree Robert Plant has nothing to do with evolution, however his rythum section with Led Zepplin (John Paul Jones, and John Bonham), now these guys were evolutionary catalysts. Rock music evolved drastically because of these two mutations.

Many (note:: I said many and not all) creationists like
to portray 'evolutionsists' as a holding a 'belief'
in evolution akin to their own belief in creation.
I guess the itention is to argue along the lines that
blind belief is bad ... curious since that's all that
such fundamentalists have themselves.
There is no belief involved in those who accept evolution
as the cause of diversity of life on earth.
They have not been dogmatically taught ToE, they have been
taught what ToE says, then presented with the supporting evidences.
Evidence in this sense meaning data plus a feasible interpretation.
Some creationsist need to believe that evolution is a belief,
else it undermines their own faith (I think). If their faith is
that weak I'd rather they didn't take out their frustration on
this debate.

To call evolution a belief system, and not science, is a way of removing credibility. This is a very odd tactic. The creationist attempts to remove the scientific validity of evolution by comparing it to the very belief they feel is more than scientifically watertight.
Paradoxical, no?

I'd never thought of it that way ... but I think
you are right.
