CREATIONISTS a genuine question?

Question

When you decide to believe in creationism, do you base your reasons on anything other than the bible?

Answer 1

...of course they don't.

Answer 2

The very word 'creationist' denotes a belief in creation. It therefore follows logically that this is commensurate with a belief in a creator. As the term 'creationist' is generally applied to Christian fundamentalists their source has to be the Holy Bible. All of this is further backed up by teachings and writings from the past, with such Patriarchs as Anselm, Aquinas, Irenaeus and others.

Moving in to the modern day contemporary Christian commentators such as Kent Hovind and Michael Behe have all addressed the issue of Creationism from the joint positions of faith and science (Hovind is definitely the funniest though, read his ideas on dinosaurs)

Answer 3

yes. Follow the logic and I will even assume evolution for argument sake.
Where did I come from? My mother.
Where did she come from? Her mother.
Where did she come from? Her mother.......
..............where did she come from? a cave woman?
where did she come from? a monkey.
Where did the monkey come from? a snake............
..........where did it come from? Single celled organisms.......
where did the single celled organisms come from? random carbon formations (trying not to choke on the fallacy in logic)
Where did the carbon come from? It has always existed and the universe was a chance happening and not designed. The infinite regress leads one to conclude that there was an eternal, self existant Creator or eternal, self existant particles of inanimate matter. It seems more logical that sentience came from consciousness and consciousness is part of the life cycle, not from things like rocks. In other words, it came from something ALIVE. It is easier to accept a Creator than the miracle trancendence of a rock to conscious, sentient, animate beings.

Try an experiment. Buy a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle and make sure no pieces are connected. shake up the box and dump it on the floor. Try it a trillion times if you want, but all the pieces aren't going to fall into the perfect place and interconnect with the other correct pieces. I would be absolutely amazed if only 2 pieces would connect correctly during the experiment let alone all 500. This experiment is with a 500 piece puzzle. The universe is more than a million to the millionth power piece puzzle that you are taking for granted that everything just fell into place but you can't duplicate it with a 500 piece puzzle. That takes more faith to believe than the eternal existance of an all powerful, intelligent being, because it requires the belief in eternal, self existing particles in a complete and total vacuum. (ie. matter existing in the absence of matter is a paradox) If the universe came about as "science" says, then science should be able to duplicate it with predictable results using the scientific method, but it can't. Why? God isn't limited to the laws of physics that most people hold to be the structure of this crazy thing called reality.

Answer 4

The thing of is that evolutionists can't come up with a definitive way that every things happen. Ask any one that believes in evolution. They Start out with either maybe, could have, or might have.

They also rely on things such as carbon dating to show how long things have been dead. Yet when researchers ran the test on a live rat; the test showed that the rat have been dead for ten million years ago.

There is a creek here in the state of Texas where people have fond foot prints of dinosaur's and man's side-by-side.

Answer 5

The bible supports the truth. So, I believe in the Creator, not sooo much creationism. And if there is a wrong idea in creationism, the bible is my foundational belief to show me the mans error.

Answer 6

Yes I believe the Bible.Yet the Bible itself does not prove creation or a Creator. All creation itself proves to me creation and the existance of a Creator.To disbelieve that requires a tremendous and incredible faith.

Answer 7

Yes, there are signs everywhere of creation, of a creator. Even the bible says people ignorant of the bible are still without excuse because nature itself speaks of a Creator.

Answer 8

no longer all evolutionists are what we'd evaluate 'militant atheists', yet all militant atheists are evolutionists. you want look no further than the spokesman Richard Dawkins. coach what may be shown in a lab as actuality. Creatures reproduce after their very own sort, inheriting the features of their mom and father by using DNA. Mutations in the DNA can ensue and do. it is approximately so a techniques as the two aspects agree. each and everything previous this element is conjecture. we've not reported any creature gaining information of their DNA. we've not seen monkeys improve into adult males. those issues are unprovable, extraordinarily no longer in the human lifespan. it is in lots of cases presented as a theory, yet could be presented in a balanced way, and probable could wait till college the place smart debate could optimistically be happening. that's to no longer say that it can not be presented, yet you mustn't declare that that's a diverse shown actuality and suppress logical arguments that conflict with the assumption. maximum of all, end employing disproved info and hoaxes in technology textbooks. in case you persist with what may be empirically shown, i'm going to assist you one hundred%.

Answer 9

It seems to me that so far most of the "answers" have been given by politicians, they say a lot of nothing.
I don't pretend to know how life started and so far nobody has been able to convince me one way or the other.
If I am to believe that god simply is and always has been, then why should I not equally believe that the matter that exploded in the so called big bang was always there?

Answer 10

Not speaking for myself, but Creationism nowadays is slightly more sophisticated than the Bible. They call it the "Intelligent Design Theory" and it's supposed to show that some animals are just too complex to have evolved by "random chance".

Answer 11

No, no, you are mistaken. You have the order wrong.

God has given it to me to believe in Him and His witness concerning His Son. He reveals to me His word. It comes as part of revelation.

There is no other way of knowing.

All the other theories and explanations are quite insufficient and from an intellectual point of view quite deficient. That is surely obvious?

Without revelation we simply cannot know how things have come to be.


I know that proud men claim they know from their minds but that is just their pride based upon assumptions and rather limited thinking. Furthermore the evidence does not support their theories, so that is devastatingly humiliating.

Just as without revelation we cannot know how things came to be, so we cannot know the future either.

Do you notice that they are also not so strong on knowing the future?
