I am not blaming God for anything. I think Mormonism has parameters as does Evolution. Do you feel God has control over weather, vocanos, or disease? Evolution says no, that it's all random. #90: “We pray for moisture” What could be more Mormon than that?!

Creationism has a Creator that most call God. I don't know how anyone can say this is not a problem?

I'm saying the terms "creationist" and "evolutionist" carry baggage with them. "Creationist" can mean "belief in God" or it can mean "idiot about science." "Evolutionist" can be interpreted to mean "atheist" or merely "understands or agrees with accepted science." People that confuse atheism with evolution and faith with creationism (such as Dawkins and Jim) create the problem Eyring was intent on avoiding. I’m not saying Dawkins has baggage.
