Evolution vs. creationism? What?
That's like saying we're here to discuss
science vs. alien abductions. But that's
not a slam of religion, but of the idea of
comparing ..mainstream science to ..extreme
religious views.
Creationists generally interpret the bible literally
which is a discredited or fringe view.
The debate between the processes of creation
and evolution is far more interesting.
And I've yet to read a post in this ng that
shows anyone can properly express the
relationship between creation and evolution
and how that relates to science and religion.
Let me sum it up as concisely as I can.
Creation is to evolution as an earthquake
is to its minor tremors. Countless minor events
combined with the rare and unpredictable
"Big One".
One of those behaviors is open to objective
precision and all the tools of modern science.
The other is sudden, random and wipes out
most of what existed before.
One is open to science (evolution) the other
is for the realm of philosophy (creation).
