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. Dan
