Genesis 1 makes it clear that there is a creator. It answers the question: who are we? as if speaking to an orphan who wants to know who his real parents are. The problem with evolution is it is based on assumptions.

"Genesis 1 makes it clear that there is a creator."
No, Genesis 1 clearly states there is a creator. There is a big difference. That there actually IS a creator is, to be as charitable as I can be, an unresolved question.
It most certainly doesn't answer that question, unless the answer you get is "We Fundie Christians are people who believe in the statements made in an ancient, often-wrong book of unknown origins."
Wrong again, a**hat. The ToE is based upon solid scientific evidence. The Bible is based upon the words of ignorant ancients and the wishful thinking of Christian believers.
The Hobbit makes it clear that there are hobbits, dwarves, elves and wizards.
The problem with the bible is that it is based on bronze-age campfire stories.
It shames me to know that the UK has its own loony fundies, but we do.
Fortunately I think we exported the genotype for aggressive, vocal, and vociferous idiocy to the US
Spudthecat, you sounds just like that crazy preacher they repo'ed a car from in Operation Repo on TruTV. He was trying to tell the repo-guys that god paid his bills. It was a great scene, gave me the lulz for several minutes!
Genesis 1 makes it clear that the religious hierarchy wants us to believe there is a creator. It makes getting offerings so much easier. Otherwise, they might have to actually work for an honest living like the rest of us, not that selling bullshit isn't work.
The assumptions behind science:
The assumptions behind Creationism:
Since you must therefore not be basing your acceptance of the Genesis account on any kind of assumption about its validity, authorship or accuracy, you'll have no problem providing conclusive empirical evidence that (a) God exists, (b) he wrote the bible, and (c) what he wrote is true, will you?
"Genesis 1 makes it clear that there is a creator."
Hansel&Gretel makes it clear that there is a witch.
"The problem with evolution is it is based on assumptions."
People who assume the Babble to be a relevant source of information should be excluded from free speech. Just as people in a padded cell effectively are excluded from that.
Evolution's "assumptions" have millions of pieces of evidence and are written in whole libraries of books.
If you choose only one book to read, you only get one tiny piece of the story. You picked the wrong book.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
