I didn't know the Creationists were just a Christian group, did you?

Question

I could go for the idea of creative design but it doesn't need jesus to think about the possibly of some other "higher" form who engineered all the flora and fauna. just saw a creationist piece on tv and that is phooey. talked about museum in kentucky. phooey on them. Creative design means some different to me.

Answer 1

Intelligent design is complete and utter nonsense. I am an extremely religious person that dearly loves Christians but I get very irritated when they make up asinine theories to explain how God may have engineered all the different species. It is equivalent to the Catholic church persecuting people who thought the Earth orbited the sun. If people don't accept evolution, they might as well live in the 12th century as far as their understanding of science is concerned.

Answer 2

You know you can "believe" anything you want. Belief does not need facts and science. If you wanna believe the sun comes up in the west, fine. Fact is, it does not. Fact is we humans and every living thing on Earth evolved. It is a fact. Not a belief. Creation and Intelligent Design has NO facts, zero, none. It is easy for religious people to think these things are worthy of concern. After all, religious people believe the Bible to be factual, when indeed it is not. So if you believe the myths from an ancient text. Then you'll believe the sun rises in the west.

There is primarily one group that is pushing Intelligent Design/Creation. Today's modern Evangelical Church. Yes, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robinson, GW Bush, et al.

If you don't accept facts. You are a hypocrite.

Answer 3

Well, then you need Bible literature classes in school because the entire Creationist movement is built exactly on on the belief that every single word in the Bible reports exactly what happened - right down to Creation in 7 days and the lives of people reported (500 years +) is true - not allegory, not myth, not rule of tribes named after leaders. The three possibilities are Christian, Jewish, and Muslim and the hysterical ones here are the Christians.
Intelligent Design as a concept is very old (i.e. some "being" put the Universe together at some point we can't otherwise explain (including at the Big Bang), but ID as it is being promoted now is entirely based on God created everything in its current complications (not that God created DNA) to avoid having Man, with a soul, linked in anyway to animals with 99% the same DNA.

Answer 4

Although I don't think too much about Creationism, it is primarily a Christian issue, but there is no specific "group" such as Baptists, COG, or the like. What I find interesting is that the Jews, for which the Book of Genesis is especially sacred, and in whose language the Book of Genesis was originally written (not King James English), for the most part, don't worry about evolution vs creationism at all. There is just something about evolution that turns these Christian off, which is especially curious because Darwin, who started the whole evolution mess (actually not fully true, but he get the credit), was a son of a clergyman, and never renounced his faith. Yet, he is converted into some type of bogeyman who is to equated to Liberals and the AntiChrist and anybody else they decide they don't like these days.

Answer 5

The movement is back by Christian groups. After Creationism got knocked back they tried Intelligent Design (basically the same idea in a different wrapping). The main thought process, I believe, is to fill any gaps in our knowledge with the idea of an intelligent designer or creator.

Answer 6

Jesus is the reason for this debate. Why is it so hard for people to start believing ....AGAIN... that God created this earth not man. We are to..............! WE cant even agree to disagree. This country is pathetic. I love this country! It is sad to see it go liberal.

Answer 7

They are a cult that worship cloning
