The reason creationism is dead is that it never was alive.
Religion is a poor substitute for science. I have nothing against
religion itself, it is just that creationists use religion for a purpose
it was not and is not meant for. Religion is about our soul, creationism
is about creationists attributing the origins of species to God,
something God doesn't care about. Nature is handling and always have
been handling evolution in the best possible manner, letting nature work
according to its - nature. - Bingo.

But creationists are incapable of understandig that. They want an
omnipotent and omniscient being - as if such an absurd monster would be
possible - to be responsilbe for both the existence of life itself, and
for its evolution over billions of years. Some busybody, their God!

Sorry Rolf but you are engaging in wishful thinking. The contributions
here of people like Pagano, Bill (AKA freon), AlphaBeta, SteadyEddie
and - at least until recently - Martinez show that Creationism is
alive and well.

Not to mention the estimated 2.4 million people who visited Ken Ham's
Creation Museum during it's first 8 years of existence.

The original raison d'être for TO remains in place.

Alive?

But here's an object more of dread
Than ought the grave contains--
A human form with reason fled,
While wretched life remains.

I've been away for a while. Did Ray Martinez ever publish his paper?

Creationism is a reanimated zombie herd.

“[Rick reminds Hershel that he's a man of faith]
Rick Grimes: You're a man of God. Have some faith.
Hershel Greene: I can't profess to understand God's plan, but Christ
promised the resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something a
little different in mind.”

If he did, it wasn't under that name.

And welcome back.
