you seem to have some sound arguments, and I do not doubt that you are educated, so I am not trying to argue here; I just am stating what I have learned, and building my belief on that.
And if we can demonstrate that what you learned was wrong, will you change your beliefs? I once had to do just that, and it was a good thing, though it may have been hard at the time. (This was when I became an evolutionist.)
Tell ya what. I'll make the same wager with you. If you can convince us that all of science is wrong, I'll become a creationist in good faith. But you have to be willing to take the same chance. (And this won't be easy. We've seen all the trite, pat arguments, and refuted them a hundred times. And we have a wieght of biological evidence on our side, as well as some evidence to directly contradict the bible. But take a shot at it, if you like. But if you're not willing to change your mind when it is proven you are wrong then you're not really much of a science-minded individual. Also you can begin by addressing the numerous responses to your inital posts.)

Why would one of you being wrong mean that the other is right?
I don't mean to dump this on you specifically, this is just something I see whenever Creationists and Evolutionists meet up... each side seems convinced that if they prove the other one wrong, it somehow proves that their side is right.
This is certainly true. What I should have said to booboocruise was "if you can convice us that creationism is right, in the face of scientific evidence to the contrary (thus disproving science), I'll become a creationist." I didn't intend to set up a false dichotomy, but I do see that's exactly what I did. My error.
