Well put, Sinister,

This idea that"Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something," It raises a real problem because evolutionary theory has proven that spontaneous creation does not exist, that is the basic idea that goes against creationism and even if there are lots of debates among evolutionists, they at least agree on that as a given. Things don't just appear, there is always a cause, things evolve,etc. but once we rewind evolution to the very start, we have no choice but to fall back on the possibility of spontaneous creation. I guess we have to wait for science to come up with something that does not place it in such an embarassing contradiction.
I'm old enough to recall a time when academia disrecarded evolutionary theory and the bing-bang theory on scientific terms. There was this joke about what a theory is: a socially successful error and evolutionism was the perfect example of that. We would also be amused by the idea that while most people see themselves as descendants of gods, we see ourselves as descendants of apes...Wether religion or science, it is important to keep in mind the social, historic context. Every time the prevalent ideolgy takes a turn to the right, we see evolutionism popping up and this is quite clear today. It became very convenient for Nazi ideology. Presently our situation resembles that of the decline of the Roman empire and the early dark ages. The other day I was reading a book about that and I really had the impression of reading a newspaper, it was astonishing.
