text: why the evolutionists and the creationists cannot join hands and brains in seeking for the universal truth?   good question!!!  i can only guess at the individual's replies to this as you and i have already "joined hands" at this site and hope that others will also adhere to your request.  the reason we have not done so up until now of course is that such a site was not available and we, the creationists and the evolutionists (i am both, being a cyborg), were kept in isolation from one another by the religious leaders on one side and the "scoffs" of the intellectuals from academia on the other.  the debate has been mostly in the hands of the "experts" as in all other societal disciplines.  health was in the hands of the medical professionals, politics in the hands of the professional (used car dealers and  lawyers) politicians, and the environment in the hands of industry and government bureaucrats.  it is no wonder we feel "disempowered".  we gave away all our power to "experts", we thought.  and now we feel "disillusionned" because they were and are no more "experts" than we were and are.  well now, we will, starting with you and me, join hands and "make decisions" on these important issues and change our minds and realities, one at a time.  it's an education process, but it has now begun.  your ideas on the issues are just as important as the "experts" ideas on the issues.    we now have to take this process to the next stage and take (not ask for), legally and politically binding votes on the "issues" in a "direct democracy"....we will soon have it.  those debates have also begun.    i would like to see a "parallel election" taking place on-line and see how many participate.  the vote would not be for "people" as our "representatives" but on the "issues".  we would still need representatives to see that the job gets done but those are called "public servants" and "bureaucrats".  the "elected" representative would become a "pr" man and not a "decision-maker".  the people would then decide in a "true democracy".  that is the "vacuum" that will suck all other societies into the "age of uncertainty" and "probability" that is the quantuum reality.  we don't know where it will lead, but we have no other choice.   this is already being done in some countries such as "switzerland" and some states as in washington, oregon, california, and many more...and those socieities have not fallen apart but are the most "stable" and "progressive" communities on our planet.  switzerland is the place for everyone to "place" their money and the states that have "binding "initiatives and referenda" can outperform other countries that still use the much slower and inefficient "representative democracy"...  with the "theological" questions, the experts get their info from an "authority" that is "not present" and only communicates with some of "his" (male), favourites or 'chosen'...those who are not present cannot vote!!!  those "decrees" from the divine" would have to be "presented" by the relgious "receivers" of such "channelled" messages but would be voted on by "multi-denominal electorate" that would include "philosophers, atheists, agnostics, etc...to ascertain that the "message from the divine" is at least not "criminal", hate mongering, and is loftier than the "highest" logic available to us by our "experts" who claim to be  "at arms length" from the "so-called" "divine"...in other words, the "atheirsts" and the "agnostics".  numbers would still decide and would not immediately remedy the situation but education sites such as these
