Creationist? who are they? any particular theory and who developed the Idea?

Question

My Understanding of Creation means something that did not exist before and than comes into existance.
Creation of a project is done by Engineers ,after a laborious planning the project comes into being because a contractor executed the construction.

Paranthropus ; interesting note about the Sun orbiting the earth= its not the whole truth .actually the Sun orbits all the Planets at the same time and all the planets revolve around the Sun about a moving fulcrum which maintains rotational Equilibrium at all time.

epidarvos; This is an umprovable fact= we are both Existing ,we are here.

Answer 1

They propose, some had created the Universe... The agent of the Big Bang, God may be...

Answer 2

Creation implies a creator, an active force or being causing something to exist.

Creationists basically take a couple of data in the bible (and in less well-known commentaries) literally, failing to see where the bible is using parables rather than modern scientific measurements.

For example, some arrive at the age of the world (some 6000 years) by _adding_ the life spans of the early biblical leaders, _not allowing for coexistance of several generations at once_.

Some of the "year" counts make me wonder whether the years were rather months (a similar theory goes for Solon's report of 12000 years past Atlantis - calculating that in months puts the story roughly to 1300 AD).


The current debate (which is interestingly enough limited to the USA) about whether an alternative to evolution should be taught in science classes at school or university, however unfounded, puts a lot of less gullible people who still want to believe in a Creator behind known science into the same camp as the ultra-literal fanatics (the Christian equivalent of Taliban). The debate is really whether a laicist state like the USA should teach religiously censored science.

Science and atheism aren't necessarily connected. Science and doubting sources are connected, but even the collectors of the official gospels who had it in for the Gnostics did not totally edit out Thomas the Doubter (who, interestingly enough, had the strongest experience of Christ after the Resurrection, according to the gospels which were deemed acceptable).

Answer 3

Creationism is a dogma, not a theory.

A theory must begin with observed fact, create a framework that adequately explains those observed facts and then make predictions capable of being disproved by new observations. If new observations do not disprove the theory then it is accepted.

Creationism begins with an explanation based on a dogma (a set of beliefs) without taking account of observed facts. The explanation does not agree with the observed facts, and it does not make any useful predictions that can be tested.

Creationism is the dogma that the Earth and life on it came into being in the manner described in the first book of the old testament of the bible. Even casual observation with very limited scientific knowledge can illstrate the flaws in this.

Answer 4

The general term "creationist refers to people who believe the universe is 6000 years old..The sun orbits the earth..And the whole universe was created as we see it now in just 7 days!..It is in some cases a huge money making exercise directed at the religiously gulible!..{i suggest you watch certain American televangilists}..They have been known to lie, fabricate evidence, deliberatly misinterperate the bible, and occasionaly "raise the dead"!Ohh lots of lovely money to be made there!..I suggest before you start believing the earth was turned upsidedown in the bible because the apostles "turned the world on its ear" you do some investigating yourself!

Answer 5

They have no theories, no hypothesis. They have mythology, nothing more.
That's why the Dover decision was the correct one. They couldn't come up with so much as a single testable hypothesis for thier creationist agenda so it was tossed out of court.
"Religion has no place in school just as Ideas have no place in church"...

Answer 6

It isn't a theory. Neither is intelligent design. A theory is testable. Intelligent design and creationism can not even agree on what constitutes evidence, other then "we are here".

Answer 7

God is the creator of all things that are living and dead.

Answer 8

GOD
