Mr./Dr. Borger, et al, You know, the specific arguments that you and your peers have tried to make in using certain nucleotides, sequences, genes,... to argue support for creation would not have been possible 20 years ago. Science had not filled in these voids with discoveries yet. And, your antecedents were using arguments based on what they knew of the gaps in the database of science at that time.
Taking a step back, what the creation group is attempting to do is make an argument supporting creation using technology that was 30 centuries beyond the people who wrote the creation stories. These people feared god in everything they thought and did. In fact, those people thought god made seeds sprout, seasons change, and women have babies. So, this creationist line of argument raises objections on more levels than I can shake a finger at.
Just as sure as DNA was a threshold discovery and human DNA was decoded 10 years faster than predicted at the start, science will continue this path of discovery. In another generation, some smart people will have figured out the molecular dynamics I was asking about earlier in this thread. What then will become of the creationists? If man can do it too, does that mean we are gods?
