[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] There is no definite "creationist" belief, so it's subjective. The term "creationist" is a bit of a catch all- [i]some[/i] call themselves "creationist" believe simply that there [i]is[/i] a creator of everything, others that everyone decended from Adam and Eve and that's [i]fine.[/i] Others believe a more radical POV but still call themselves "creatoinist"- many think humans existed alongside the dinosaurs, [i]some[/i] think all fossils were planted by Satan to mislead the faithful and that Darwin was a satanist.[/qb][/QUOTE]You, sir, are quite correct. I firmly believe in creation, but I distance myself from Creationism. Some people who are creationists do not allow room in their interpretation of the Bible for similies, metaphors and illustrations. See below for more... [QUOTE][qb]I would not fault anyone for believing [i]some[/i] of what's in the bible, but a strictly literal interpertation is obviously not supported by scientific facts. [/qb][/QUOTE]As I stated above, the Bible is full of literary tools such as similies, metaphors, illustrations, examples, homilies, hyperbolies, etc... These things cannot be taken strictly literal. On the other hand, while not a science textbook, the Bible is 100% reliable when it comes to scientific facts. Somtemes the Bible has been more reliable than the prevelant thought of science at the time. One example is the flat vs. round earth argument cited above. Centuries before man was convinced the Earth was round, the Bible plainly stated in Isaiah 40:22 that God is above the "circle of the Earth (or sphere, in Hebrew)" Sometimes scientists take the Bible's scientific accuracy into doubt when discussing miracles. In this regard even the Bible says the event is a miraculous event. By definition miracles contradict the laws of nature: "An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God: 'Miracles are spontaneous, they cannot be summoned, but come of themselves.'"
