Nor has anyone been able to describe a reasonable mechanism for creation.
Note that I don't mean a *description of* creation, but a *mechanism for*
creation, that is, (for Biblical creationism) *how* God did it.
All in all, the mechanisms proposed for evolution, which you call
"[not] reasonable", are far more convincing to me than the total lack
of explaination on the part of the creationists.

The posting I am responding to was not directed to me, but I would like to
restate my own reasons for finding evolution more reasonable than creation.
Evolution explains more facts using fewer assumptions.  This is the reason
it has become the prefered theory in the scientific community.
I would be interested in hearing about facts that creation explains "better"
than evolution, but I have yet to see any posted in net.origins.
