Moreover, if in fact God did create the universe, "Creation" would be 100% correct. There is no degree of correctness. Either we have a Creator or we do not.
​
Whether there is a creator or not tells us nothing about how the variety of life we see came into being. Speaking as a Christian, it is totally irrelevant to the question of evolution.
​
Of course there are degrees of correctness, and Biblical Creationism is demonstrably wrong and in fact, simply forcing ignorance on our children.

Re: Topic
Nonsense.
​
Biblical Creationism explains nothing.
​
The ONLY theory that is available currently that does explain the variety of life we see today as well as the FACT of Evolution is the Theory of Evolution.
​
If you wish for Creationism to be taken as anything more than a pitiful joke, there is a thread I started that outlines the steps you must take. You can find that helpful guide here.
​
Speaking to you as one Christian to another, supporting Biblical Creationism does absolutely nothing but force ignorance upon our children and is a denial to use the gifts the very GOD you seem to believe in gave you.

Re: Topic
So present something that is on topic.
​
If there is some model other than the Theory of Evolution, present it.
​
It really is that simple.

Re: It is that comment right there that makes me sick
BTW, I think you might appreciate a late Mark Twain work, The Damned Human Race, which back in 1969 I found included in a paperback along with his Letters From the Earth (which was also the title of the paperback). Just offered as a Geschenk.
​
Also The Mysterious Stranger.
​
Those three were required reading in Sacred Studies when I was in school.

Question everything
The War Prayer was another that was only published after he died.
​
And yes, IMHO the big problem with much of Christianity is that what gets marketed today is Answers to Questions and not Answers to Question.
​
Edited by jar, : fix sub-title
