What's funny to me about the evolution/creationist debate is that no one in it really seems to care what the truth is. They are so busy trying to convince and bully everyone that they are infallibly correct that they miss the epistemology of what they are discussing (don't these people read philosophy). It does not matter in the end which view point is correct. They are both, in the big sense of the word, conjectures at this point. There may be evidence (phenomenal or logical) for one or the other, more so for evolution, but behind both ideas lies the unknown(this is where philosophy comes in), it's not that we will some day enter the unknown area of understanding and understand it, but that there is that unknown. We are all believers in the end at this point. Believing in science or religion is not what matter it's that we believe adamantly and with a rigid fervor that's the scary part of the whole dialog between the two factions (believing does not amount to truth). They both push each other further into there own skewed ideologies and further away from the seeking that is so important to human nature. The ill founded debate is forcing the rest of the human race into a lackadaisical stance in which all forms of inquiry are believed to be superfluous and amount to reductio ad absurdum.
