[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  First of all, in science, "THEORY" = NOT PROVEN.  JUST AN IDEA.[/quote]

That's not what a scientific theory is.  A scientific theory is an explanation for observable phenomena that is supported by evidence, and has been confirmed by observation and experiment.  It's not just an idea.  It's an idea that has significant amounts of evidence behind it.

Creationism isn't a theory in the scientific sense because it isn't supported by scientific evidence.  I don't really have a problem with people who say "I believe the bible, over scientific evidence, and thus ascribe to a religious explanation of how life came to exist on Earth in it's current state".  If you believe that, I'd say "that's fine, I don't happen to agree, but I can respect your point of view."  But when someone tries to justify a belief in creation by deliberately distorting the meaning of terms, or claiming scientific evidence when there is none, then that'd either dishonesty or stupidity, and I have no respect for either.
