:::::::I think this reinforces the point I made near the top of this discussion. The beliefs of creationists and mainstream biologists/evolutionists are so far apart that it is simply not true to say that "Creationist biologists accept all the biology that an evolutionist accepts, but disagree on how living things came about." I am not here to argue about who is right, just to point out the size of the gap. I think that gap is so large that the thesis of the article is simply nonsense.

Reading up: ''given that evolution plays such a central part in modern biology''
What part does evolution play in modern biology? In your answer, please be sure to give an example of a biologist invoking the theory of evolution in his work because leaving it out wouldn't make sense. Don't forget to show what percent of biology papers (in peer reviewed journals) refer to evolution.
In case you can't answer this - and I was pretty sure you couldn't when I posed it - it means that biologists might give lip service to evolution, or keep silent about the claim that "nothing makes sense without it". But in fact, everything but the question of how forms of life '''originated''' makes perfect sense without any mention of evolution, positive or negative.
In case I'm wrong, I'll check back later to see if you have bothered to reply. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 07:15, 10 April 2008 (EDT)
