Understanding that thought process is in itself subjective. What makes the interpertations of the writings of Darwin any more viable then the interpertations of the bible? And what makes Darwin any more of a "truth-finder" than Paul?

If "man" is nothing more than the sum of historical precedence, how can you explain creativity? Is man taught to be creative? By definition, creativity is the creation of something new in the absence of precedence; something that is not taught, not patterned, and not learned.
