> No. What I meant was that when Creationists I know get into debates, most of the time they don't even MENTION the Bible, because the people they debate with don't believe in the Bible and make the same points you make and it ends up a bilbical accuracy debate.
I've never heard a creationist argue for creationism without mentioning the bible. Perhaps you could tell me what scientific data you base the idea that humans are immune to evolution while everything else in the world is not?

It never says anything about keeping religion out of public schools. That concept first came from a Supreme Court ruling in the mid-sixties. Show me where it says in the Constitution that there is to be a wall of separation between church and state, or that we can't teach about God in school. "Well, the First Amendment" is one claimed often. Let's take a look: > > Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
"prohibiting the free exercise thereof" Prayer in school prohibits the free exercise of anyone who is not of the religion that is behind the prayer.
Additionally, there are court cases which further establish this separation of church and state. . . .A judge's decision is law.
