I didn't say that.  I said that if you believe in a Young Earth you are an 
inbred nitwit.  The push
to move Intelligent Design into science classrooms is a thinly vieled 
attempt to bring biblical
literalism/Young Earth Creationism into the classroom.  If you are, indeed, 
a Young Earth
Creationist, then I reinterate that I think you are a inbred nitwit.

It isn't "by chance".  The mutations are random, and happen in every 
organism at every cell
division-- the selection of which of those mutations succeed depends on how 
useful or harmful that
mutation is to the new organism-- and, therefore, is NOT "chance".  Plus, 
the fossil record is a
cold, hard fact.  And if you deny the validity of radioisotope testing that 
gives the ages of those
fossils, then you also deny the validity of radioisotope testing on 
meteorites.  The only "faith"
involved in the issue is the "faith" that the laws of physics were the same 
in the past that they
are in the present.
