There Has Forever Been A Universe

Neither Henry Morris nor the ICR are reliable sources of scientific information.Their stated mission is to convert people to their religious cause, not to advance scientific understanding of nature.They are a religious group that ignores or twists any evidence which contradicts their particular interpretation of a particular version of the Christian Bible.[This message has been edited by schrafinator, 03-21-2003]

I strongly suspect that the video is impressive to people who are not knowledgeable in Geology or physics.I also suspect that they leave out a great deal of current Geological evidence which contradicts their claims.I repeat. The ICR is not a reliable source of scientific information because their stated mission is not open scientific inquiry, but to convert people to their religious view.To do science, one must go out, look at the evidence in nature, and then determine what happened.The Creationists aren't doing science when they hold the preconceived notion that the Flood is true, before they ever look at the evidence.What they do is hold this preconceived notion, gotten from a religious text, then look for evidence to make it look as though this preferred outcome is how it happened.

Imo, young earth creationists who are claiming that the entirety of the observed universe began a mere six milleniums ago or so, are presenting a huge credibility problem which pictures their eternal majesty of the universe in a very small and temporal framework.

This is exactly why Creationism is not science.There is no agreement among all of the different flavors of Creationism because the basis for it is scriptural interpretation, not evidence.Revelation is not testable; anyone's interpretation of their scriptures has just as much validity as anyone else's.If there is no way to test the theories, if they are all just adhered to dogmatically, then it is just a belief system and nothing more.
