What makes you think that a creationist can't believe in Science? You think that because a person has faith that they give up intellect? Since I believe God made science I believe he used it to do the work of creation. The Bible give the only overview of creation that agrees with modern science that the ancient world held. A progression from one age to another first the creatures of the sea then birds and if you know science birds are closer to dinosaurs than any animal alive today. Then after everything else man. Doesn't science say that man is a late arrival to the world? Humm not to far off for barbaric man that had verily learned to write. God is not a being that sits us down and says believe or else. He has given reason to hold our faith. The passion of Christ was written of by King David 900 years before the event, Don't tell me that Christ self fulfilled the prophecy, when nailed to the cross he called down to the men who did it and asks them to cast dice to see who gets to have his coat.. Yes I am a man of faith. But I don't have enough faith to believe a bolt of lighten struck a puddle of water and produced life. If I could buy that, and that a huge if, I can't believe it would survive a grow and mutate into the myriad of life we have on earth. If you can go with such theories you have more faith than I could ever muster.

I am a Christian...but I have no problem with evolution. Since the bible is not a scientific journal, it doesn't break the creation process down into minute segments, as science does today, on just about everything. Unlike some, for me, God is not the sum of all things unknown...in fact, each new discovery increases my awe and wonder of Him. But except for a few verses in Genesis that can be interpreted many different ways, I don't see where evolution conflicts with the scriptures. As for the joke...unless you are making a cynical statement about evolutionists...which is ok by me...I'm a committed cynic myself...I don't get it.

I didn't catch the joke and I don't know much about "creationists" but I can only assume this would qualify one of my professors. He believes man came from aquatic apes! At first I thought wtf??? He explained that the era previous to ours now (or a couple back) was the primate era. Well anyhow he made it clear as to how it could happen. I did think he was just a crackpot old man but what he said made sense, that's the scary thing. I will check back to see what the joke was supposed to be.
Oh yeah and one other scary idea: What is the chromosome difference in a chimp and a human? 2! That's it! Crazy...

I am a Creationist, and I already believe in evolution. I don't think that species turn into other species (i.e. apes to humans or dogs to horses). But I do believe that species adapt and change a great deal over time. But I also believe that the original copies were created by an intelligent creator.

You have to get this right. Primates evolved into men, similar to apes, but different.. But still we won't believe as there are still two people types, God people and Primate people. Once we get that figured out then we have advanced a whole lot.

How about creating life from some elemental carbon, water, hydrogen, etc.
Then I want to see that life to become a multicellular entity that can reproduce itself and create a couple of new lifeforms due to mutations involving the addition of DNA.
Oh and this has to occur without any prodding by the scientists...just create the condition you want and leave it alone.
Good Luck.

That's suppose to be funny? Huh??
Umm, you're pretty much just telling the world evolution is a belief, right? 'Cuz what would it take an evolutionist to believe in creation?

I think the only thing that continuously changes is the attitudes that come out of the woodwork, ah but wait, if youve done your homework properly even those attitudes have already existed.

If you could see my brother's wife you would have no trouble believing we evoled from apes. She is living proof. Everyone calls her the missing link.

You can be religious and still believe in science too. They dont have to be mutually exclusive.
