Do you creationists think your nonsense will ever become mainstream science?

Question

Something like 99.8% of the scientists in the National Academy of Sciences support evolution. It's such a basic cornerstone in any life science that research will grind to a complete halt if it's rejected. The Centers for Disease Control would be helpless against disease if they replaced their evolutionary model with a sin-based model of disease. You simply WON'T find any articles from a creationist viewpoint in any mainstream scientific journal. You simply cannot burn enough scientists at the stake to EVER make them abandon evolution. And if scientists ever did abandon evolution, they'd switch to something equally naturalistic.

About the only thing you might accomplish--and there's even a lot of resistance to that--is to push your idiocy on public schools. We're already starting to fall behind the rest of the world in scientific literacy, and such a stupid program would only further destroy America's technological superiority.

Answer 1

I guess the reasoning is that the sooner we reject scientific evidence in the realm of medicine, the sooner we will die of disease and go to Heaven for believing such tomfoolery.

I like how creationists are so adamant in saying evolution is such an improbable event because it deals with "random chance" when that's pretty much the exact opposite of what evolution and natural selection is- the deliberate survival of those with beneficial traits.

Now the real question is... how can it be that creationists have survived so long with so many traits detrimental to their own survival?

Answer 2

If it is how you say, and 99.8% support evolution, then how exactly do you think creationism will become mainstream?

If it's such a basic cornerstone to any life science to believe in evolution, then why are you so upset that creationism will become mainstream?

If all scientists would give their lives rather than abandon evolution, how is creationism going to become mainstream in scientific circles?

If there is so much resistence to creationism in schools, then how is it possible for it to become mainstream thinking?

The thing is, you belittle and spit upon something, raging the whole time how it's taking over the world and it's ridiculous ... all the while stating without wavering how everyone believes in the opposite. It's like a dog barking angrily and in alarm at a tree.

Answer 3

Hi, I'm a Christian, but NOT A CREATIONIST.
This group constantly, a with a loud voice, says that the Bible states this earth to be about 6000 yrs. old, and that it begins as you read in Genesis 1;
Well, that is absolutely not what the Bible says.
After 35 + years of study via the original manuscripts, I can tell you that not only does the Bible state this earth to be eons and eons old, but in fact, that there was an entire earth age before this one we live in now.
When one reads the account of Genesis, they are reading of God's refurbishing of the earth to make it suitable for this particular flesh age.
This is why you read "multiply and REplenish the earth; because it had already been plenished once before.
You can read of all three (3) earth ages in Second Peter.
As sad as it is, those who are loudest in stating this earth being 6000 years old, are the ones most illiterate in the Word of God.
My 7 year old son is aware of fossils that are older than that.
The Sciences are not only a facinating study, but its studies and its findings should be a rejoice to every person, regardless of their "religion". I want my children to study everything available, whether it be the Sciences, Mathmatics, social studies - everything that is out there - learning is one of the most beautiful differences between just being an "animal" and being human. We have that ability to study and to learn, and these brains given us were meant to be used, not to sit dormant inside the skull.
My purpose for this answer was not to offend any group or any individual; instead, what I want to point out is that just because there is a group who misunderstands the sciences as well as the Scriptures, it does not speak to say that all those of belief are to be placed into that category; No matter what group you look at, whether it be a Christian, Buddhist or Athiest group - or a knitting group - you will find those grounded individuals and also those, well, lets say "not so grounded" folks, included in them.
Not all Christians are ignorant of the Sciences, and not all Christians want to do away with those studies - that would be the disgrace of all mankind; personally, to not study the Sciences, in my humble opinion, would even be a disappointment to God Himself, who created them.

Answer 4

Mainstream technology ignores evolution. Evolution has no longer something to do with technology. that's a container of its own. Evolution are no longer waiting to be reproduced in a controlled ecosystem and as a result independently examined. that isn't any longer technology. Now i've got no longer something in direction of human beings believing in evolution, besides the incontrovertible fact that for evolution to have a stranglehold on training is counterproductive. we've slipped decrease back into the dark a protracted time, and a guy's occupation is additionally destroyed by utilising way of even thinking evolutionary dogma. i'm hoping you know that each single progression or maximum serious substitute (especially those maximum well known to chromosomal incompatibility) mandatory to a million. arise by random threat 2. arise in sufficient persons of an analogous species interior the distinctive equivalent area and on the specific equivalent time to outcomes in a breeding inhabitants that could desire to shop its own in opposition to the daddy or mom species or perhaps substitute it. 3. no longer kill the mutant inventory. i've got not disproven evolution, yet i've got shown that we've not have been given any concept the finished tale yet. the probabilities of atheistic or naturalistic evolution ensuing interior the variety of existence that the sector has popular is interior the variety of 0 in any computing approach i've got heard of.

Answer 5

Not too much I can say, as I agree with you so completely.

Just one encouraging note: Usians are not so stupid as they sometimes seem. I live about 20 miles from Dover, PA, where the school board decreed the teaching of "Intelligent Design" two years ago. Usually nobody much votes in those elections, so it's easy to pile up a majority of fanatics.

Last year all eight members up for re-election (including, alas, the one guy who voted against the measure) were defeated. There was also a stinging defeat in court, but I expect most voters resented having their money wasted on lawyers to defend an imbecilic decision.

Answer 6

I like your figures. That tells me that we "creationists" are gaining ground in the scientific community. Up until just a few years ago, it was 100% that agreed with evolutionary theory. In answer to your question however, Yes, I do think that eventually science itself will prove scientifically that life came about as a result of intelligent design rather than accidental incidents. I am not saying that they will believe in God. Some never will. But then, that is to be expected.

Answer 7

teaching something other than facts in school is stupid. while evolution may be a theory, there are facts supporting it. in the creationist view A BOOK which has been changed many times, edited many times, and may not even been written by the people we thought is the only thing creationists have....ughh

Answer 8

i daresay it's possible. look at all that dreadful lysenkoism business that went on in the russian biological sciences for about 30 years. it self-corrected in the end, but what a terrible waste it all was. never mind, stem cell research and all that will just be taken up in other countries. pity, but there you are.

Answer 9

I can see this is a genuine cause for you.
But if you were to look at the story as a metaphor, as most Christians do, you may spend the extra time learning something of value rather than using your time to argue the science of it.

Answer 10

I heaven, the realm of the living God, it already IS hard science!
