Is It Possible?
I have a question. Is it possible to be a Creationist and an Evolutionist at the same time?

Not if you re going to be intellectually honest with yourself and others
I see no conflict in being a cosmological creationist.

Re: Is It Possible?
Isn't this a copout?
It all depends on whom (or what belief) you choose to be loyal to. I think its a bit arrogant for humans on a dustspeck in the middle of a solar system surrounding one of hundreds of billions of stars--nevermind galaxies---to deny the possibility of a Creator..but it appears some humans are hardwired to trust their own species intelligence at the expense of someOne in charge

Do you follow the pattern? Each culture I listed did not believe in a god that is immediately right in front of them, but they believe in a god that is just outside their understanding.
So does this mean that we humans assume that our understanding will someday exceed that of a belief in a God outside our understanding? It almost seems as if we insist that for a God to be real or worthy of our worship He/She/It needs to present Himself in front of us!
​
I do not dismiss the possibility of a god. What I do not subscribe to is the type of god that needs worshiping at the threat of hell fire.
Perhaps you wont allow for the possibility of a God who is in control of your destiny.... and for the record, I don't worship God because of a threat of hellfire....I freely worship. No threats or promises of gifts need apply.

How many god/s that don't threaten hell fire or offer rewards do you also worship? None? Seems rather odd that you worship one of the only ones that does AND is the one shared by others in your geographical location.
There is only one God, Onifre. Humans can conjure up as few(0) or as many(polytheism) as they want...it matters not. Christianity flourishes in all cultures and in all geographic locations.
