[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist II: [qb] Interestingly enough, one of the criticisms of Creationists is that they try to fit whatever facts are presented to fit their perspective. But do not Evolutionists do the exact same thing? IF facts do not fit their preconceptions do they not try to adjust or declare it an aberration? [/qb][/QUOTE]The difference there is that your "Evolutionist" tries to make sense of the real and observable universe- discarding nonviable theories and always searching for verification of facts. The Creationist tries to take the stories and edicts of an anthology of history, parables, outdated laws and theology and shoehorn them into plausability. For example, that whole "days" might not mean days thing- if that's so, then God might mean grasshoppers: whatever makes the religion fit contenporary facts. I can respect spirituality and a person's decision to believe but not someone that refuses to accept objective reality. As to the term "Creationist", I would not toss rev into that category- the Creationists I have met (one a good friend [i]somehow[/i]) have ecided that "Scientists" are trying to obscure the "truth" the Bible offers and believe very non-sensible things such as... Dinosaurs were killed off by early humans. Or, Dinsoaur bones were placed there by satan to mislead the faithful. Earth is only 6000 years old- and any archeology or carbon dating is false or part of an anti--christian conspiracy. There were no other hominids- Neandertals (for example)were decendants of Cain, early hominids like Lucy were misshapen modern humans, etc. But non of their beliefs really irk me so much as their relentless campaign to force public schools to teach their non-factual dogma as somehow a "viable alternative" to scientificly proven facts. Today's kids in the United States are already pretty uneducated in science and critical thinking- the alst thing the country needs is to have theology rammed down their throats. After all, the the supposedly "good-'ol-days" when the country was far more Christian (and white), none of that theology was taght in schools. that's what churches are for- not schools. [/QB][/QUOTE]
