I need to apologise if this came across patronising. I was fustrated when, having tried to explain my points a number of times, my explanations seemed to be ignored in favour of a different interpretation.

If they are indeed 'facts', they must be true. If they are established, I guess it means they have been around for a long time.
Given that I'm not in the know about the science community, I'm not sure if that is the case or not.
But what it boils down to is that there are a bunch of scientists who believe in intelligent design and creation and bunch who believe in Evolution. Therefore, if you are looking at it from a scientific perspective, it comes down to which you choose to believe.
As I've said before my belief comes from what the Bible says. What I was trying to do initially was to encourage Christians not to be concerned about proclaiming the Bible view of creation, because contrary to what is generally assumed to be the case, Evolution is not fact. According to that article I quoted, there are increasing numbers of scientists are believing in creation. Evolution is just as much a faith choice as is Creation, And as Christians, we believe we have the final authority on all matters, the Word of God, the Bible.

Do you have any links to papers published supporting Creationist science? I am really interested in how they prove their hypothesis.
