I have no doubt that you believe that complex structures cannot evolve. Your inability to understand how it works does not make it any less 'true'. -Meantime, by conflating the phony Creation/Evolution debate with the exposure of the Climategate fraud you do everyone a disservice. You are (inadvertently I hope) wrapping 'Climate Science' in the mantle of 'Biological Science'. Surely even you would agree that these are not equivalent. -As an aside, God has created this incredible universe with elegant mechanisms, Evolution being one of them. I am constantly astonished that Creationists attempt to diminish this with arguments for crude, ham-handed 'direct creation', rather than the truly elegant mechanisms for which God has provided more than ample evidence. They should be marveling at its beauty and working diligently to understand its subtle mechanisms. Instead, they waste everybody's time by perverting discourse in an attempt to promote their own (dangerously arrogant) assumptions about the meaning of the Bible. -God speaks to all of us in many different ways. With all due respect, I think that you should listen to him more carefully.
