Doubtless, this will offend a great many of you (if not all) but... the problem with this forum is that it's dominated entirely (and perhaps not surprisingly) by Christians. The only source used to defend anything from eating meat to circumcision, here, is the bible. The bible, the bible, the bible. ad nauseum. Hasn't anyone taken influence in their life from something besides the bible? I would be absolutely thrilled to pieces if, just once, I saw someone on here say:

"Yeah, well Siddhartha Gutama said we shouldn't eat meat because..."

...or...

"Yes, but the Hindu faith doesn't acknowledge circumcision as ... because they've proven that ..."

I mean this as no offense, truly.

The name of this forum is Creation and Evolution, but it seems to me that it should more appropriately be called Christian Values Type X versus Christian Values Type Y.

And again, I'm sorry, I'm not intentionally trying to offend anyone but that's all I ever see on this thread, here, is quoting one excerpt from the bible after another. Creation, as a theory, is not the sole providence of Christianity, rather, any and all religions. Creationism tries to prove neither Christianity nor Jesus Christ as fact, but instead that the Universe and life cannot exist without intelligent design. That's it. The bible doesn't really enter into any of that whatsoever.
