Also, I am giving a typically understood definition of creationists, and their two main sub-types, if you disagree with these definitions, please let me know why.
Theistic evolutionists should be considered creationists because they still believe that God CREATED species even though they accept that he used evolution to do it.

Re: The Answers are in Genesis
I agree with you that evolution and natural selection is a process which happens to living organisms.
The word "evolution" doesn't always mean the Theory of Evolution as in Darwin's theory on the origin of species.
For example, we could talk about the evolution of cars. They have changed a lot over the years. There is even selective pressure on them from the market.
If you argued against that position because evolution is a process which happens to living organisms then I'd tell you that you were an idiot.

Re: The Answers are in Genesis
Wow, in one paragraph of the goo to you theory, we have the eqivocation of growth, metabolism, reproduction, survival, extinction, and of course evolution.
...and?
Its no bid deal, really. The put quotes around the words they were "equivocating". That shows that they don't literally mean growth and that they are using it as an analogy.
You're just bitching about it because you don't like evilution.
And in the paragraph you quoted, when they use the word "evolution", they are not referring specifically to Darwin's Theory of Evolution. They are talking generally in how things evolve when there is some selective pressure.
So, there's really no problem with the paragraph nor have you supported you position that:
quote:
You are right, without DNA, metabolism , sometype of cellular wall and reproduction (it's different that replication) then you cannot have evolution and natural selection.
There is no question that this pre-life evolution works fallaciously like the real evolution. All with no evidence that such a mechanism exists.
There's plenty of evidence that abiogenesis is on the right track. Just beause there isn't one unifying theory doesn't mean that we're not right so far.
But that's OK, I believe in a religious myth just like these scientists do.
So, in addition to not knowing the difference between spontaneous gereation and abiogenesis, you also don't know what a religion is
I would think anyone who would allow such fallacies in a scientific field of study would be an idiot.
Its a good thing that the scientists aren't using those fallacies.
