Welcome to the forum Lam.
First of all, I'm a little unsure this covers all creationists. Many creationists accept speciation and know that Natural Selection is fact. Infact, that means that we almost are evolutionists as evolutionists claim that there is no macro/micro and that lots of micro = macro. Therefore, I personally - though I am creationist, am almost evolutionist as I seem to agree with speciation and Natural Selection is, well - fact. Speciation however, I would say, was/has been shown is speciation within a kind. And at the moment I fail to see how Natural Selection - being a culling process of information, can = evolution. I don't think this way because I need to, and if creationism was disputed and recognised as false tomorrow I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep and an iota of faith. As a creationist I am ultimately in search of truth.
If what you are saying is that evolution because of Natural Selection = no G-d, then I can never become evolutionist and can never think evolution is truth because of my deep religiosity when dealing with Hashem.
Drop the "evolution = no G-d" and I would probably become an evo. However, for the moment I cannot see
time as a contributing factor or a helper of evolution. I see
time as an enemy of life which = degredation/death and age.
Hope you understand my full position is not one of bigotry, and maybe you can come to see that we are not all ignoramuses for pretence of scientific achievement.
God bless. Mike.
P.s. DC85, I think "secondlaw" confuses abiogenesis with evolution.
