What proof would a creationist, or a neo-Darwinist, need in order to admit they were wrong?

Question

Of course if you stopped being a creationist you wouldn't necessarily become a neo-Darwinist, and vice versa.

Answer 1

For a Darwinist proof of the existence of God for the creationist there would be no evidence that could be produced to change their minds since they would adhere to their theory whatever the evidence produced

Answer 2

A creationist will never be swayed by proof, as their belief in creationism is solely based on faith.

As for "neo-Darwinists," who today doesn't believe the basic findings of Darwin's research? I will be compelled not to agree with the basic principles of evolutionary theory when a different theory for human variety and adaptation becomes available. :)


**I just read the posting right above mine, and I feel I must add that proving the existence of God (hypothetically speaking, of course) would not do anything to change my belief in evolution. Contrary to popular belief, creationism and Darwin's evolutionary theory are NOT inherently conflicted. It is (mis)interpretations of evolution that do not fit with the ideals of creationism. Okay...I think my answer is now sufficient. :)

Answer 3

This is the thing that really upsets evolutionists so much,we creationists do not require any proof at all, we believe and nothing can shift this, evolutionists on the other hand are constantly looking for the definitive proof that will end all speculations for them,they are never quite sure if and when this will happen, so rather than admit that evolution is still only a theory they rage against the faith of creationists like demons from Hell.

Answer 4

Your question is flawed.

I have never seen a fanatical creationist willing to accept new information one-inch, unless it reinforces their position.

Similarly, I have rarely seen a fanatical Darwinist willing to conceive the universe is more than a machine, or a random chance event.

So if both camps refuse to objectively consider counter arguments, I don't believe it is even possible to answer your question.

Answer 5

Kindly stop equating Creationists with rational people.

People accept Darwin's theory (or rather, the somewhat modiefied, modern version of it) because of the evidence for it. Not out of any religious veneration. Come up with a hypothesis that takes into account all the available evidence and we'll talk.
