Creationism is a theistic model, but since evolution purports to explain origins and development naturally (as opposed to supernaturally) is this not the opposite of a theistic model? Richard Dawkins in writings that “Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist,” is making a philosophical statement. His science is not judged by the atheistic presuppositions that he approaches Science with, but YEC’s and ID theorists, who have theistic presuppositions, have their science (however bad it might be) criticized as religion. This seems to be a double standard? Darwin himself spoke of creation, and the Creator who ”breathed into a few forms or into one,’ yet despite this rather spiritual language, his science is separated from that. Why are those who deny that naturalism is synonymous with science not shown the same courtesy?
