"Maybe there was a creator."
 "What if God did such-and-such?"
*****************
Scientists usually try to avoid stating theories as certainties. Creationists
usually indicate certainty.  When you say "Maybe there was a creator",
and "What if God did such-and-such", then there begins to be a basis
for discussion.  We can follow up the lead of "What if ..." but we
can't go anywhere with "This is so, because I believe it."

You (Paul Dubois) quote evolutionist arguments sarcastically because they
include "seems" and similar words of uncertainty.  You should drop the
sarcasm, and learn from them.
