Exactly, I respect that people can not accept evolution but why is the alternative always creationism? Surely if people were thinking about the issue individually they could come up with many alternatives.
For instance, all intelligent design suggests if that life was created by an intelligent designer. Why do people assume this to be the christian god? Why not aliens? Budda? Greek titans?
This is all a result of the American right mentality that there have to be only two possibilities and you have to be in either one or the other.
