 The three theories may be independant of one another, but that does not
 mean that they are not related or can not be tied together. This is
 net.origins not net.evolution. In this newsgroup all of these theories
 ARE tied together.

 The creationist position is an attempt to replace three interrelated
 theories with a single multi-phase theory. Matter, planets, simple and
 complex life can be attributed to a super-natural origin, or a naturalistic
 origin. Either way you are tieing the three together.
