(a) Didn't any of you do Latin at school? It's DEITY, not DIETY.
(b) What in heaven or on earth does this have to do with C?
(c) I have implemented genetic algorithms using the C language, and I 
can testify that evolution works just fine - I have used it to find 
good-enough solutions to problems that are too unwieldy for an 
exhaustive search. Thus, the claim (in the Subject header of this 
thread) that evolution is disproven is patently false.

There is a perfectly reasonable way to reconcile the scientific model 
with a Biblically young Earth that doesn't require anyone to mock anyone 
else's point of view or suspend their disbelief or anything like that. 
If anyone wants to know what it is, by all means ask - but in a 
newsgroup that is intended for that purpose. Sure as eggs is eggs, that 
newsgroup is not *this* newsgroup.
