I would think if they wanted to be true to their creationist 'god', they would be integrous to that principle in all areas of their lives, and shun that which was created by 'other' than their god. Of course they would weary of waiting for relief to just suddenly pop into their medicine cabinets. One does weary of the hypocrisy.

They are one confused bunch. Thanks for your response! Skylight 9 months ago .

I just marvel at how they insist on fitting two objects (beliefs) in one space, something which goes against the laws of physics. On the one hand they shun science that proves the theory of evolution. At the same time, they enjoy the benefits of that same science in every other area of their lives.

That is a psychotic split. Either science is valid, or its not. I also will never understand how they cannot comprehend that god may create through science the way a musician creates music through an instrument.

I am sure you know that my comment was meant to be sarcastic.

True science does not go against The Creation Story, in fact The Holy Bible is very clear on what happened and science agrees. In Genesis 1 for example evening and morning were the first day, evening and morning were the second day, 24 hours the first day of creation. The Human body is SO complex that it is proven that it must have been created, the human eye for example had to be working from its start could not have evolved.No true Science points to God as its creator no conflict here.

Thanks but no thanks. I for one am not a believer in the bible. So nothing the bible says serves any purpose for me whatsoever.As for this quote from you: I am speechless.

Please, for the gene pool's sake, EDUCATE YOURSELF! Skylight 9 months ago .

I don't think they shun science...just see that science is blind on many things in life. We don't know everything.

Thanks for your response. Skylight 9 months ago .

We don't know everything. There can be evolution and creation. We didn't need to be a monkey first.

Medicines are mostly not good...too many sideeffects and they don't fix the problem...just bandaide it. People don't shun science...but natural is better in medicine. God can do what we can't and we can't make a person.

DNA has a code. We seem to have come out of the ocean...but God can do that even in creation. Science doesn't know everything...is blind and has false information often.

You're talking about people who think a supernatural being when "poof" and the world suddenly appeared. Why on earth would you be expecting logic or rationality from them? .

Well I don't, but I think people should become more concerned about those creationists who run for office. They are not of a sound enough mind to accommodate the world we are living in. People seem to be taking it in their stride.In reality, this is a serious lapse in judgment, not merely a difference of opinion.

Thanks for your response! Skylight 9 months ago .

Easy. They make constant use of the defense mechanism...denial.

I agree. Thanks for your response. Skylight 9 months ago .

You have a contradictory question, which is what creationists such as yours truly object to. Medications are subject to actual science: test and repeat and observe the effects. If one doesn't get what one wants, stop the test and re-work the formula.

If it does work, repeat and verify. That noted, you should be able to recognize that our origins are not subject to observe and repeat. We can't do "science" on our origins.

We can only form a theory (creation, evolution, space aliens, whatever) and then test WHAT WE HAVE to see how well the facts we have explain the theory. 1) Evolutionism is not a fact; it's a theory. An animal or plant "evolving" itself is not that strong a "fact" because the animal or plant most of the time dies out.

Those pepper moths on tree trunks? They were glued on; it was a deception trying to "prove" a point.2) Let's leave God out of this and merely address your question: many people (not only those who believe in a fiat creation) have a lot of problems with our "scientists" because they make these claims (such as "Evolution is a fact") that are ridiculous and these smart people know the claims are ridiculous and, knowing this, suspect something else is going on here. People do not like being lied to and do not like attempts at brainwashing.3) Fossils are facts.As I noted in a previous question, fossils as evidence for life-by-evolution have two problems: they record 10%-20% of the animal (the rest is soft tissue) and their record actually supports fiat creation.

Fossil records of animals appear fully-formed; intermediate species are lacking. Darwin insisted, "NO JUMPS." (He really was that hot about it. ) If one can have a species jump, one can have supernatural input, so one might as well default to fiat creation.

Darwin had no fossils to support his theory.Is a billion fossils enough for his theory? But they don't support his theory; they show fully-formed animals appearing suddenly.4) BTW, fossils are obtained by burying the animal or plant in lots of water very suddenly and having it mineralized rapidly before it can decompose .. Global flood, anyone? At this point, dear , I really must ask you who is being the irrational one here.

I disagree. It is not contradictory at all. Creationists utilize 'god' to explain the creation, correct?

There is no such thing as a creationist without their concept of their creator god. Leaving god out of it isn't really an option then, is it? How is it that they cannot fathom the possibility that god could use the methodology of evolution by which to create?

You say, "We can't do "science" on our origins. " Neither can you provide proof positive against the validity of science whatsoever. Creationists refuse to acknowledge scientific fact.

You cannot deny that. You yourself seek to invalidate scientific evidence of evolution in such a way that seeks to give more validity to your own abstract imaginings of god. Its entertaining, but it just doesn't work that way.As little scientific fact as you can find for evolution, there is far less to prove creationism.

Your god creates via process everywhere you look. Why insist that same god would not create via the evolutionary process? I'll tell you exactly why, because their human egos cannot allow the possibility that they came from the likes of apes.

I've heard them say it themselves. They are, in their own minds so superior to all other life on this planet, they cannot accept it, anymore than they can grasp life on other planets. Yet they allow themselves to believe they are so fallen from grace and are so lowly, they need saving to even be anointed by their god's heavenly love.

Now that is what I call irrational. Skylight 9 months ago .

They dont. God IS science. Technology has NEVER EVER created anything.

Scientists have never ever CREATED anything. They have discovered and learnt how to use these things.

And god created the process of evolution. So why does religion not embrace it? Skylight 8 months ago .

There is nothing to say we were not created,then evolved. I`m I creationist,but will never shun science. They are part of the same.

You cannot have it both ways. Why is it god could not have created through the process of evolution? Perhaps god then created scientific thought and taught scientists how to reveal the process of evolution.

They can only be part of the same if the principle holds true throughout. There is proof of a very complex, ordered, organic process that occurred and which at a certain point, manifest as man. Even our brains show proof of evolving from being centered in the Amygdala, or serpent brain, to higher centers in the mind which include imagination.

To say god created science, then shun scientific evidence of evolution is a hypocrisy. You cannot have it both ways. Skylight 8 months ago .

You say "theory of evolution", If it is Fact it would no longer be theory. Would it. We believe our God/creator imparts wisdom and knowledge to benefit mankind.

Even those who do not believe. So science is just man using the brain he was given....some paint..sing..become Doctors or Scientist whatever...It does not make us hypocrites. It just increases our faith .

I'm sorry skylight, I never should have answered your question (?) its like explaining calculus to a deaf man.

Wow usmc, "...explaining calculus to a deaf man"....Have a wonderful day and I'll do my best not to get the drool on my chin on anything. Skylight 9 months ago .

By the way, here is a quote from a creationist who posted on this question: This level of understanding is unacceptable. I never said the divine force didn't work through science, doctors, blah blah. All of life is infused with divine intelligence.My point was that the divine force works through the evolutionary process to create.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
