A request

Got any evidence for that incredible assertion ? Or is it more of the usual slander we've come to expect from creationists ?

Please Paul, try to remember to point out that it is the Biblical Creationists that are constantly slandering folk and not Creationists. I consider myself a Creationist, yet fully support both Evolution and the TOE.

It is not Creationists, but rather the subset of those who worship the Bible as opposed to GOD and the message found in the Bible that you are addressing.

Re: A request

Why then are you attacking the Biblical Creationists here?

First because they are factually wrong.

Second because they Cheapen the Word of GOD.

Third because they generally are clueless about Christianity or GOD's message.

Fourth because they are woefully ignorant about either science or theology.

Re: A request

Most words have multiple definitions, but labelling yourself a creationist seems both confusing and misleading.

What should someone who believes that GOD created the Universe and all that is in it be called if not a Creationist?

I believe that it is both important and on topic. We are discussing whether or not Evolution is science. Once the concept of Creationism is introduced, I believe that it is important to distinguish between those of us who believe that GOD created everything and that did so through natural means, means which can be examined, studied and confirmed through normal scientific methods and those who believe that it was a tinker doing continuous special creations.

The role that GOD plays, Her part in creation, is a very important part of our belief system. As we study science, particularly Evolution, we are searching for "HOW GOD did it." We do not take GOD out of the system, but rather simply stand in awe of the reasonableness, the foresight, that developed systems such as evolution which can actually be understood by man.

I am a Creationist.

Here is where you go wrong.

That is your worldview chiroptera but I certainly don't subscribe to it. It is very easy and convenient to accept Evolution in a world that does not want a God, that's the short of it but since we cannot prove Gods existence or non-existence I must mention that when I see the beauty in this world in contrast to the suffering of creatures and mankind I admit that I have to believe in God.

Please note the part bolded.

Whoever told you that lied to you.

If it was a Pastor, the Pastor lied to you.

Evolution has nothing to do with GOD. Many of us believe in GOD, are Christians, believe the Bible and still accept that Evolution is a FACT and that the Theory of Evolution is the best explanation of how God Did It.

If you like, I am happy to prove to you that Christianity has no problem accepting Evolution.
