I don't actually think Creation is a religion.
Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Himduism, etc. these are
religions.
They have some form of scripture and belief structure which
is taught, and taken almost entirely on faith by their
followers.
Creation (in the sense of creationism i.e. in the context of THIS
forum) is a premise founded in Judeo-Christian belief systems.
The main point of these discussion threads is NOT to debate the
religous context of creationism, but the claims of some proponents
that creationism is scientific.
A part of that discussion is the defence of evolution.
Evolution is NOT a religion.
Evolution is a premise founded in observations of the natural world,
in the fields of biology, geology, and chemistry. It is concerned
ONLY with the diversity of the biological world.
Supporters of evolution
may be passionate, but they are
open to rational discussion, and if presented with sufficiently
credible evidence will abandon/re-examine parts (or all) of their
theory.
Supporters of creation TEND (and I stress TEND) to be fervent in
their faith, and accept no evidence no matter how credible
that is contrary to the doctrines of their faith.
Provide me with incontrovertable evidence against evolution
and I will say 'How did I not see that! Of course that's wrong!'
Provide a creationist with incontrovertable evidence (and I'm not
saying their is any) and some will be likely to say 'Ah yes, but
if God wanted you to think that, you would, wouldn't you.'
Consider your own position.
Is it founded (as mine is) in a life-long study of science AND
religous belief, OR does it come from the things handed down to you
by your parents and ministers/priests/rabbis or whatever your faith has ?
