Creationism is not a scientific theory it is a religious belief.

So is evolution.

At least there are witnesses to mine.

Evolution is absolutely a religious belief. You can’t prove it, can’t observe one species become another species, can’t repeat it or set up testable events. It is simply an act of faith that Evolution is “real”.

More particularly, it’s “apologetics”, a theory constructed in defense of Biblical Literalism, as they see it. From my POV Creationism strays very far from biblical literalism ( small “b” small “l”. ) In fact, the template for 20th century Creationism, as expounded by e.g. Henry Morris, can be found in Thomas Burnett’s Sacred Theory of the Earth, written circa 1690, and described in S.J. Gould’s TIME’S ARROW, TIME’S CYCLE. Burnett was accused of atheism in his time for espousing the same rationalistic scenarios which nowadays brand Creationists as radical religionists.

Evolution is a religion embraced by atheists and and s disproven by one simple fact: one genus or species cannot procreate with another to create a truly new species.
