I believe that the future is rather bleak for Creationists and fundamental Christians.
Perhaps that's somewhat of a bold statement to some. What I'm suggesting is the possible erosion of the Creationist and Young Earth philosophy due to mankind’s technological and scientific advancement.
Will it fall into Mythology, like the great Greek Gods before it? Perhaps more as a campfire narrative such as the famous Spanish explorers questing to the edge of the ever-so-flat Earth? Such thinking seems common in a more collective humankind future.
On the other side, do you believe that Creation will save us? Is the love for a common religious belief, the return/arrival of Christ what will ultimately bring us together?
At some point the nations of our Earth must blur to achieve a real movement toward advancement in technology and science as a human race. I sense that it is during this transition when Creation and fundamental religion will see a large step back. We will embrace the technology and evolution that I believe has gotten us this far.
It should be noted that I’m not suggesting that we will someday completely abandon the possibility of a Creator, as I think that is almost impossible. Instead, I’m focusing on the creation of existence as we know it, the ultimate weight the Bible and other religious texts will have on our society, and things of that nature.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts and discussion on this. I am a long-time lurker of these forums and have enjoyed the insights that come from reading your discussions.

Creation "Science"?
This is OT. Please do not respond to this post
Wow, this is an old topic you're replying to. There are probably better topics where we could discuss this.
Anyhow,
I belive creation science has more going for it than evolution.
i have numerous example...
OK, what exactly does creation science have going for it? Let's hear the numerous examples.
If you believe in evolution, could you tell me in what order did organs come about.
That's about a six million page reply. Could you be more specific, perhaps pick an evolutionary line to concentrate on. Generally we say the start is archea, eukaryota and bacteria with the origins focusing on macromolecules and RNA. Getting from there to the current state of the human body would take a very very long time and many a hypothesis are involved.
There are, however, many studies going on currently that tackle this.

Re: the new guy
it may get hidden by evolutionist science editors of magazines by not letting them publisg their findings.
Why would science magazines publish articles about unscientific research or theories with no supporting evidence?
At any rate, I think this tangent is still somewhat off-topic because it's going to get into the how and why of scientific research and the lack of experimentation and observation in regards to creationist theories like Intelligent Design. I don't know, I'll wait for an admin to advise perhaps.

Re: in response to the 1st post
But it's been over 80 years now already that physics has advanced well into the metaphysical.
There are definitely some metaphysical or even spiritual fringe theories out there. I still hold these as paths though. Scientific theories evolve, they're worked on, studied, experimented, observed. Where, in contrast, Christian creationism and Biblical Genesis is a singularity in itself with nothing else to "discover" -- it's both the beginning and the end.
Therein lies the problem with advancing a technological society based on those principles.
