Hi,
I'm new to this debate & this is my first posting, however I've been looking around and the first question that really strikes me about the evolution v creationism topic is this.
Is Creationism an attempt to denounce other religions by "scientifically" proving the holy scripture of Christians to be correct, thereby proving the holy scriptures of other religions incorrect?
I do not mean to cause offence, but there is very little mention of other religions in this debate and as it's a religion verse science debate, this strikes me as odd.
Thanks for reading.

Welcome to EvCForum
Hi MM,
Normally, we encourage new posters to participate in other threads before proposing their own topics. This usually lets people get a "feel" for the place before jumping in with both feet. However, I haven't seen this particular topic/approach discussed very often, so I'm inclined to promote it, even though you haven't presented your own opinion. My suggestion would be to present your view (and why) by editing the first post (or directly replying to this one), and then I'd be happy to promote the topic.
Fair warning: opening a thread pre-supposes that the thread author will actively participate in any ensuing discussion. I hope you get my drift.
I'll hold this open for today as is. Looking forward to your re-write.
Again, welcome to EvCForum. Stay within the Forum Guidelines, and enjoy!

    My pleasure, AQ!
    My opinion on this matter is that Creationism could ultimately be seen as just an attempt by Christians to justify that Christianity is "the One True Faith". It is hard to ignore that the arguements Creationists use against Evolution are in turn used to prove other religions are false.
    I say this simply because their arguement largely resolves around proving their religious text to be irrafutable, hence making other religious scriptures wrong in all matters which contradict the Bible.
    Evolutionists theories go against all religions equally, so how do Creationists get away with their bias against other religions?
    I wouldn't normally open a debate straight away, but I've seen little evidence that this topic is addressed. I mean, this is one of the big reasons why Creationism is not taught in schools under the reason of "religious bias", I would have thought this topic would be better coverred by both sides.
    Again, thanks for reading.
