    Default "Creationism is not science"

    A scientific report has concluded that Creationism is not science and should not be taught as such. It points out the difficulties in meshing religion and science. Religion is based on belief, while science relies on factual evidence.
    Or, as Bill Hicks once said "I have a one word question for those who believe in creation -- Dinosaurs"

    They evolved. Just like everything else.

    This because she doesn't have an answer. Maybe she should go back to school?

    Personally, I agree Creationism is not science. That does not mean it is not the Truth. I also believe that if we are going to teach Evolution, and I believe that we should teach it, we should teach that there are other "theories" that counter, or in my belief, assist the science of Evolution.

    I do not believe life formed out of a primordial soup. To believe such takes much more faith than I have, as there is NO evidence that this happened! But, I do believe that the laws of nature including Evolution, were created in the same way we were created and life goes on from there.

    This answer is indicative of most of those why deny the Creator.

    For those refusing to consider the hand of God in creation I always point out that since they are making up the game as they go along, they can surely make up their own rules. However, when they finish their game they still will stand alone before God on judgment day and have to explain their actions.

    Good luck with that.

    When watching some of my favourite Discovery or Nat'l Geographic shows I become literall nauseated when I hear them proclaim things like:

    "This plant (somehow, magically - dp) evolved to be consumed by large animals, then have it's seeds pooped out, to use the dung as fertilizer."

    or

    "The search for water in space is the search for life, because life could (somehow, magically - dp) evolve where there's water"

    or

    "The crocodile (somehow, magically - dp) developed the ability to not destroy it's own jaw with it's massive closing power - 2000 psi or more!"

    I think it's absolutely against anything remotely related to common sense to think all this - how our universe works - happened by luck and random chance or accident. It's silly. Macro Evolution is a JOKE. Absolute lunacy.

If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    What about the idea that a Supreme Being created the heavens and universe? That is really unbelievable to a lot of folks.

    Frankly, the complexities of our universe POINT towards a designer. If people don't want to believe in God, they'll find plenty of excuses; they'll drum-up whatever "evidence" they want to support their preconceptions

    'common sense' ? LOL!

    If all we needed was 'common sense' there would be no need for science in the first place. Your saying 'evolution is wrong because my common sense says so' is enough to refute mountains of evidence to the contrary?

    and I have one word for those who think that science understands creation....."purpose"........

    origin is not comprehended by science, and as such science should not presume to teach origin.......
    ...full immersion.....
