Why are creationist arguments so silly?

Question

It always comes down to "POOF" God did it.

Answer 1

Explain the ear, the eye, a wood peckers tongue, evolution can't!

Not to say that some Christians are not informed and they do make the rest of us look bad.

Answer 2

I was once at lecture by a nobel price in physics. He explained to us the big bang and how the universe expends and retracts itself every whatever bilions of years. He told us that all that was there before the big bang was a single atom that would have the density of the all universe as we know it today. A single atom...... woaw.... And then BIG! and then BANG! here is the universe. That is how he explained it to us. Scientificly. But then, after the rational explonation, he added: "The only thing we can not know is how this atom came to exist. That is were God comes in play".

The thing is that a lot of high level scientifics believe in God. Regardless to the knowledge they have of how the univers works.

My personal understanding is that creationism and evolusionism don't contradict themselves. I think it is actually prety amazing that a books that was written more than 3000 years ago relates the creation of the world just as it happened according to the theory of evolution:

First, darkness, then light= the sun
Then mostly water= look at a map of the earth a couple of hundreds of thousands years ago.
Then the land and the grass and the trees.
Then the fish= right before "we come out of the water"....
Then the animals of the earth= dinosors and all kinds of what we proudly call animals
Then the man= last step (for now) of the evolution.

Bottom line: evolution=creation.
All that matters is to love each other....

Answer 3

Yeah. That's why the entire scientific community laughs at it.

Below is a quote about "Teach the Controversy," the movement where creationists are trying to convince public school students that scientists are arguing about whether creationism or evolution is true.

" 'Teach the controversy' is a deliberately ambiguous phrase. It means 'pretend to students that scientists are arguing over whether evolution took place.' This is not happening. I mean you go to the scientific journals, you go to universities... and you ask the professors, is there an argument going on about whether living things had common ancestors? They'll look at you blankly. This is not a controversy."
-- Eugenie Scott

Answer 4

It comes done to more and more scientist in the last 30 years have come to believe in intellegent design. As they learn more about the universe, it's creation, and it's complexity and balance, they believe that their is no way this could have accidently occured.

I can't remember of the scientest, but it was related to us showing up on mars and finding a biosphere. Inside the biosphere is a complex system not only sustains life but puts it in a condition that allows growth. On the outside of this biosphere are thousands of dials all set to various position with thousands of possible settings on each one. After carefull study we find out that changing just one of these dials one increment would result in the total destruction of the biosphere. Did this all come together by coinsedence or was it designed by an intellegent creator? This is exactly what scientest are finding. The balance of certain things in our universe are on a razors edge and intricately innerwoven to the point that it could only have been designed. If it was designed than it have to have a designer and a creator.

Answer 5

grrr... these Biblical-literalist LIES really make me angry... and do themselves no favours by displaying their organisations lack of morals.

99.86% of scientists in the relevant fields 'believe' in evolution. A few don't based soley on religious faith. There has been no increase in scientists convinced by "Intelligent Design". Obviously life has evolved to suit the environment. And The eye, the ear and woodpeckers tongue are all easily 'explained' by evolution. Pick up a book!

Anyway, their arguments are so... absent because there is no evidence. Thus they concentrate on spreading lies and misinformation about science (Evolution and anything else they don't like) instead.

Answer 6

How can you make a sensible argument out of "god did it by magic"? If you are willing to accept that, almost anything at all is an improvement on that, even the magic creation of mountains by a world wide flood, or the magic diassapearing of all the flood water, etc.

Answer 7

Some creationists do make that argument. It is not unlike evolutionists who always argue, "It just takes a long time and since there is not god evolution has to be the answer even if I can't prove it."

They both require faith... imagine that...

Answer 8

Hummmm.

Sort of like the Big Bang theory, huh?

It all started someplace. Poof. Bang.
What we do know is that there is no evidence anywhere that inanimate particles become life on their own.

Answer 9

Why are atheist trying to give us the idea that science has disproved the presence of God..or even disproved creation?

Even if evolution was true it doesn't deny creation as they may co-exist..Evolution is still lacking what makes it a fact like other theories which became so like gravity, sound waves, light speed..etc.

Answer 10

something invoking the 2nd regulation of Thermodynamics. No, make that the argumentum advert vericundium the place Werner von Braun states that evolution is as probably as an explosion in a junkyard producing an motor vehicle.
