In the post-modern world, there is no truth. Anyone claiming
so is mean spirited, and to call anyone ignorant is offensive

so-called human reasoning it carries less truth than one
based on an ancient Hebrew myth. However, for that same reason
"scientific" creationism is equally flawed.

The science of biologist is not a matter of faith or believe, it's
a matter of reality. It is the lying of creationists and the
stubborness of the ignorant that offends. There's no "shaking"
involved, here.
