It surprised me to learn that large number of people in America still hold on to the idea of Creation.?

Question

You also teach creation theory in schools even though this theory has been debunked by evolution.

Those that profess to be creation theory experts where is your scientific facts - don’t tell me it's blind faith - blind faith is for non thinkers.

I have also read that man lived for many 100s of years if you believe we don’t evolve and change how come we don’t live for hundreds of years now?

It took 180 for the scientific knowledge that the earth was not the centre of the universe to become general knowledge.

The bilble even talks of a flat earth - should we all believe that to be true as well?

Would it be fare to say that those that believe in creation theory are blind faith religious fundamentalists? And religious fundamentalists are mostly republicans. So there for republicans have blind faith and thus non thinkers?

Flat earth referances from the bible http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/febible.htm

The angel Uriel guided Enoch in most of his travels. They made several trips to the ends of the earth, where the dome of heaven came down to the surface. For instance,

Enoch says:


I went to the extreme ends of the earth and saw there huge beasts, each different from the other and different birds (also) differing from one another in appearance, beauty, and voice. And to the east of those beasts, I saw the ultimate ends of the earth which rests on the heaven. And the gates of heaven were open, and I saw how the stars of heaven come out...(1 Enoch 33:1-2).

read on - don'tt just take some stuff from the first paragraph -

"The bible also says a fool is always right in his own eyes."

There are alot of fools who will not look at the evidence - non thinks still quote from a book written when they believed the easth was flat. You can not argue this point it is FACT!!!!

AS Expected - not one creationist believer could come up with some compelling evidence. Non thinkers revert to name calling when they are cornered into revealing how blind they really are!!

Answer 1

The rest of us Americans don't get it, either. It's embarrassing.

Answer 2

Debunked? I don't agree.
It takes just as much blind faith to believe that life came from a big kablooey.
Man did live hundreds of years but the further away from the garden of Eden that we get the younger we live to be.
I think that God is more concerned with us right now than any other thing or being in this universe, therefore we are at the center of the universe, if you look at it that way.
I can't recall where the bible talks about the Earth being flat. If you could give me some reference to this, please do.
No it wouldn't be fair, so don't.

Answer 3

Science has backed itself into a corner with the big bang. Tell me what happened 1 second, 8 minutes, or 50 years before the big bang. You have no idea. Many scientists now are admitting something (or some one) had to set it in motion.
Also before making statements about evolution debunking nything, take a look at fossil records. Strangely (for you) there are enormous "jumps" from relatively simple to much more complex life, almost as if it was created.

Answer 4

Not one of these says flat. Do you have the Greek and Hebrew translations? The adjectives are not flat. If the earth wasn't firm, we would sink in it. If it was moveable that means it would be next to Pluto by now and you would be an ice cube. Something can move in one context and be immoveable by another. Can you move the earth? Than it is immoveable to you. Could the writers of the bible move it? Than it was immoveable to them. Movement can come in more than one context. The bible also says a fool is always right in his own eyes. I guess you have it all figured out.

1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.”

Psalm 93:1: “Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ...”

Psalm 96:10: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ...”

Psalm 104:5: “Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.”

Isaiah 45:18: “...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...”

Answer 5

Notice how people choose not to take certain parts of the Bible as literal but Genesis has to be 100% literal down to the very words.

Answer 6

Idiocy is alive and doing very well in the US. Creationists are some of the stupidest and dishonest people on this planet. They rank even lower than used car salesmen or lawyers.

Answer 7

"Blah blah blah, I don't like God! Everyone's opinion is wrong but mine blah blah blah!"

What school teaches creation in lieu of evolution? Tell me that.

Where in the Bible does it say that the Earth is flat?

YOU'RE a religious fundamentalist too. No matter what people say, you seem to be pretty deep into your delusion that anything these people say is wrong. Are you saying YOU are an evil/stupid/moronic republican too?

Go read a book or something, sad little Earth monkey.

Answer 8

According to God's Word, there will always be a remnant of people who love and follow the Lord - and there has and always will be, so no surprise at all. And the only blindness I SEE is the nonbelievers who live in darkness and refuse to live in the light of truth in Jesus. God bless.

Answer 9

No, they hold on to the idea of God, and creationism just sounds better than random things evolving with no purpose or meaning.

Answer 10

Conversely, as an American, I was surprised to find that there's precious little argument with evolution in the rest of the industrial world. It was reassuring to find that out, though.
