I believe that the Bible is the Word of God
I would truly like to hear why you believe this here:
Message 1
I also have serious doubts about the Darwinian model and find it to be incredibly implausible
Sure it all seems implausible when one studies life with its increadible detail, complexity and diversity - I will agree with you on this. However, transferring the responsibility of creation to a supreme being as described in the bible (especially the OT) seems to me a lot more far fetched. The God in the OT is described as very war like, possessed with human emotion and ethnocentric - hardly befitting a creator of the magnificance we see around us.
As indictable it is to say that creationist tailor the scientific evidence to conform to their core beliefs, many evolutionists are guilty of the exact same bigotry, only in the opposite direction.
I strongly disagree. For a scientist to tailor evidence to fit some pet theory would be grounds for excommunication from the scientific forum.
The only way a creationist can be excommunicated is to question the central dogma of the faith even if such questions are backed with evidence. Further along these lines a scientist would achieve eternal fame if they could demonstate a prevailing theory false.
Obviously one or both groups are willing to abandon legitimate scientific inquiry as long as it makes the other group look bad.
Science could care less about making creationist or any other social religious group "look bad". If someone presented a paper with the intention to making some myth "look bad" that would be reason enough for it to be rejected.
