How can you believe in creationism?

Question

Don't you think it's stupid?

Answer 1

Yes, creationism is stupid. I believe in science.

Answer 2

A tremendous pyramid of evidence for design and recent creation is available for detailed study.

Romans 1:20 states: "For the invisible things of him from the creation are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead: so that they are without excuse."

Scientific evidence for creation abounds in areas of objective observation. Scholars in various scientific disciplines have written about the incredible complexity in living systems and the structure of the universe. This complexity is beyond the possibility of natural development.

1. The Fossil Record...Evolutionists have constructed the Geologic Column in order to illustrate the supposed progression of "primitive" life forms to "more complex" systems we observe today. Yet, "since only a small percentage of the earth's surface obeys even a portion of the geologic column the claim of their having taken place to form a continuum of rock/life/time over the earth is therefore a fantastic and imaginative contrivance.1" "[T]he lack of transitional series cannot be explained as being due to the scarcity of material. The deficiencies are real, they will never be filled."2 This supposed column is actually saturated with "polystrate fossils" (fossils extending from one geologic layer to another) that tie all the layers to one time-frame. "[T]o the unprejudiced, the fossil record of plants is in favor of special creation." 3

Answer 3

On the contrary, science wholly supports creation. Research it for yourself! Here are just a few examples:
1) Did you know that we can determine the approximate age of the earth by the salinity of the oceans? You see, due to several factors, the salt in the oceans continues to increase in concentration, without the salt oceanic vegetation and animal life would cease. If we trace it back, the earth can be no more tan 10,000 years old, and that's if it started out with no salt at all! Another example of using the earth to date itself is the magnetism of the earth. This dating method has to do with the rotation of the earth's inner core, and it also proves that we live on a young earth.
2) The fossil record. Did you know that NO "missing link" has been found! In order for evolution to be true, we should be finding thousands upon thousands of intermediate species. If creatures evolved over millions of years, than why do we find millions of animals like trilobites (which evolutionists speculate are some of the earliest life forms) and we find thousands of fossilized fully evolved creatures, but no intermediate species!?
3) What about "irreducible complexity" your body is totally interdependant on itself. If just one amino acid were missing, you could die of multiple different things (liver faliure, heart faliure, faliure of your blood to clot and multitudes of others) The functions of your body could not have evolved because, until they were fully formed, they would kill you. For example: The clotting of your blood when you get a cut requires multiple chemicals and amino acids to work together perfectly, in the absince of one, your blood would clot all the time and you would die, in the absince of another, your blodd would be extremly thin all the time, and you would die. Every function of this simple system would have to mutate, fully formed, at the exact same time for it to work. This is impossible according to evolution.

I encourage you to do some of your own research on this topic, a great book explaining this theory in depth is "Darwin's Black Box" or try www.answersingenesis.org for information. If you want some more book recomendations, e-mail me!

Answer 4

Because it is true. To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes (Ok it was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle writing and making him say it but still) If you look at the facts and remove all that is impossible (like darwinism and evolution) the thing that remains no matter how IMPROBABLE is the answer. and that is Creationism. No I do not think it is stupid I think any sane person who looks at science inevetibaly comes to the conclusion that SOMEONE had to start it all. (like Einstien, Crick, and Buckminster Fuller all did)

Answer 5

How can you not believe? Don't you think that's stupid? I'm not "mocking" you and just trying to show you my point of view. You think it's stupid to believe - I think it's stupid not to believe. If you look up the definition of belief, you will understand why you and I have different beliefs. We don't have to share the same beliefs to get along though. We just need to learn tolerance and acceptance of others.

Answer 6

How can you not? Just look at the world around you. None of that can be explained by anything other than creationism.

Answer 7

easy. How can you believe in something other than creationism. Itsn't it more unlikely and stupid than creationism? If you knew the real facts of mutations and likelyhoods then you would know that any form of evolution is far fetched.

Answer 8

I believe. It's called faith. And I don't see anything more ridiculous about creationism than believing in evolution based on a pile of bone-shaped rocks called fossils.

Answer 9

evolution is the way to go its more believable than some almighty being creating the universe and the earth because who created him because no one can just pop into existence without creation or conception

Answer 10

i dont, and it i also dont think its nessicarily "stupid", if thats what people wanna believe then thats fine. all the more reality for me;)
people also thought the world is flat and according to the bible
thumpers, that earth is the only thing in existence, think about it.
there were no dinosaurs according to them and they is obvious
proof that there were, so let them be, thats what I say.
