Scientist cannot lie about their findings, those that do are quickly found out. But what about creationists?

Question

The people that are supposed to be examples of morality. Why do they lie constantly about Evolution and creationism?
Every single argument they have against Evolution is either a bald-faced lie, or a lie by omission (meaning that they leave out KEY evidence because including it, makes their argument fallacious).
Why is that?
Scientists can't get away with that, any that do are quickly discovered.
So why is it that the "evil" Scientists, the people who supposedly "put logic and science before morality" (that is a direct quote from someone here on R&S) seem to be more moral and trustworthy than the people who claim to be speaking the "word of god"?
Makes you think doesn't it?

Wow, did YOU guys (the first three) ever miss the point of this question.
Take a deep breath, read again (slowly) and try using the edit button.

Ugh, this is getting needlessly messianic.
Can you guys TRY to read the question for a change?
*smacks head due to overwhelming creationist ignorance*

Answer 1

creationist lie because they feel threaten by evolution. They feel that people will start to question the story of Genesis which to creationists is the truth to where we come from. With people questioning religion, they fear that people will start to turn away from religion; therefore, they need to lie about evolution in order to keep people in believing in creation.

Hopefully more and more people will realize that evolution is factual and creation is a myth

Answer 2

You should probably site some specific evidence with your question...otherwise it just sounds like a rant.

Those who live according to Christ's teachings should not lie and will be convicted to tell the truth by the Holy Spirit within them even if it contradicts their opinion. Truth is more important than any scientific justification.

Scientists only need answer to themselves and the ones who pay them...so the credibility of a funded scientist is already questionable because they are paid to get results that comply with the mandates of their sponsor. If they are more concerned with truth and integrity...then I salute them and respect their honesty...I would still like to see evidence of the indisputable proof that discredits the claims made by creationists.


Oh, science is not an "institution" for those who believe in evolution. Science is a systematic study for knowledge that is testable and repetitive. Creationists have just as much right to use the scientific method to learn about and support the idea of intelligent design or creationism as an evolutionist has the right to use it to support progressive theories.

Answer 3

Is that Adaptive Evolution or Darwin's theory? If it is Adaptive Evolution, that is happening right now; ever living creature goes through adaptive evolution. However, I am not sure about Darwin's theory that we (humans) adapted from another creature. I don’t see or read anything that backs this up.

We can theorize all we want, but without evidence; how can you believe it? There is no way that the DNA structure of one species can become another, unless you've seen a human give birth to an ape recently? IF we or the ape had each other DNA sequence in the others structure at the beginning of our existence (IT WOULD STILL BE THERE). DNA does not 'just go away'.

As far as Creationism, I think that even IF scientists found a proof for this; they would bury the evidence. Because, I just don’t think they’d be able to handle that kind of knowledge. I am a Christian and this may shock my fellow believers. But, I know that science can’t and will not be able to prove the existence of G-d.

It does not mean that I don’t believe in Him. My reasoning is this, IF I had to have proof, wouldn’t that actually be demonstrating to those around me that I am struggling with my faith. In my mind anyone actively seeking some proof, outside of what he or she reads in Scriptures; aren’t they really trying to cover-up insecurities THEY are having with THEIR belief or faith in G-d?

For those who are comfortable in knowing who G-d is and what that relationship is - we don't desire or need 'proof' in the physical sense. Our proof is from the way we feel when praying to Him, reading Scriptures, and worshiping Him. In my mind the evidence of His existence is the simply fact that, I am here right now; living each moment, learning about the world around me.

To me it all boils down to this one word "Love", we can't see, hear, touch, smell, or taste it. Yet, it has the power to build and sustain relationships. And that is the most important attribute that I 'need or want' from G-d. So, if I believe in Him. It is not because of some uneducated, illogical, unscientific, crazy, crutch; that I follow. It is because He loves me and therefore I love you. Faith is like a surprise gift that is wrapped in 'love' and bought with the strongest bond ever known to man 'love'. We don't get it from G-d, we give it to Him.

And in return He showers us with things that I don't ever want to take for granted. To name a few (sunlight, sandy beaches, cool breezes, a big / juicy apple, meteor showers, gorgeous sights taken by the Hubble, and a gentle smile from a family member or friend).

This is why I can without shame say I have faith in G-d AND trust science. The Bible and other Myths can't explain everything, but that is why we have science; to help us along in this journey called life. G-d gave us the foundation, now it is up to us to make good use of it. We are to enjoy all things and try to leave the world in a better condition, for the next generation; than when we arrived in it.

I believe, deep in ever fiber of my being. That this is the reason Scriptures tell us of the stories of those who came before us. To teach us how they either screwed things up and they were able make things better, for our benefit and enjoyment.

Lastly, I do not believe that the world is 6000 years old. According to the scientific conversion of time = Each second of our time is equivalent to 53,000 years. The Big Bang is estimated to have occurred 13.7 Billion years (or just Three of our days) ago. If we plot in the number of days (according to the Bible) that G-d took to 'create' the world. We come up with 13.7 Billion Multiplied by 2 = 27400000000 (or 27.4 Billion years). Which equals 27.4 Billion years.

That's my story and I am sticking to it!

Answer 4

Actually scientist have lied and been mistaken about their findings many times. ( ulcers, recent korean cloning for a couple) Why do you focus on this one area? Why not study and see if you can disprove some other things . You see not all Chrisatians are Creationists. and with them your argument is just wasted energy.

Answer 5

How is it that science CANNOT get away with it? And Evolution has NEVER found it's missing link, from a Macro-Evolution point of view. I bet you've spent more time on just one subject rather than looking into both.

Answer 6

No quotes, no citations, no trust in this question.

If you want to make a claim like this, provide something to back up what you're saying.

You claim that creationists lie, so where are the lies? How can we answer the question unless you provide something to look at? This is the problem I have with questions like this. They make this claim and then don't provide anything to respond to.

You claim that scientists are more trustworthy than creationists. Provide something to back this up. Otherwise this is just a question with no basis to respond to.

Answer 7

makes me think that creationists are insincere about science and sincerely trying to peddle their religion.
Religious apologists constantly argue that science doesn't have the answers, yet desperately try to use "science" to justify creationism. If that's not the definition of insincerity, I don't know what is.

Answer 8

We found out about their lies a long time ago.

Answer 9

I get so sick of the stereotyping in here from both Christians and Atheists and anyone else. PERHAPS YOU WHO USE IT AREN'T EDUCATED ENOUGH TO REALIZE THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE INDIVIDUALS AND THINK DIFFERENTLY!

Get a grip on reality!

Answer 10

Scientists lie about their findings all the time.

Creationists have been exposing the lies of Evolutionists for years.
