Good reply.

'But in these enlightened times, is it unreasonable to ask for some proof?'

It is not unreasonable, in fact it is essential. There are so few, if any Creationists that have any scientific credibility because in fact they are coming from two completely different paradigms. Science being based on testing, then testing again and constant peer review.

Creationism based on an extraordinary lack of understanding and an error repeated ad nauseum so that certain souls imagine their faith is dependant on believing the unbelievable.

And it's no small thing. If in this day and age we can't get through to somebody who lives in a first world country and has attended at least a state school, that humans have been around for more than 6,000 years, that the earth was not covered by a flood in the time of Noah, that Adam and Eve were not created from clay and then a rib, nor were they the first people, nor did the human race come from a group of interbreeding brothers and sisters, then we have no hope of finding common ground in an age when some kind of unified vision has never been more important.

One hour of open-minded study and a Creationist would on their way to joining the modern world.

science cannot explain everything, just as religion cannot explain everything.

I truly hope science does not become the final determinator of everything we believe in in life. It will be so barren of dreams, of the mystic of living and life, of the good things that may happen to us that cannot be explained.
