Creationists are not asking that all people agree with them, much less are they demanding it. They simply have their beliefs--which is the Christian belief--on how the universe and life formed; they have scientifically backed up their argument to the same extent--if not more--than the Macroevolutionists; now, they merely seek recognition of their scientific model as a plausible alternative to the now standard Macroevolutionary viewpoint.
Webb mentions the Sun being created after the Earth (which it was). Obviously an attempt to make Creationists seem to be hairbrained idiots (P.S. Light was made before all the stars). Creationists still agree with their Macroevolutionist counterparts that the Sun is powered by nuclear fusion, its elemental composition, its distance (Creationists are also heliocentric--the Bible is silent on Earth's location in the universe, including the Solar System) from the Sun.
In almost all science pertaining to the here and now (or even recorded history), Creationists and Macroevolutionists are in concordance. It is chiefly on origins--a very small part of science--in which they disagree.
P.S. (P.P.S.?) Since this is Sunday, not expecting all that much sympathy, as a lot of Christian freepers could either be at or getting ready to go to church (it’s around seven here). It was just one of those articles that was so offensive and it was asking to be posted. (not everything posted is because it is found to be offensive, though).
“Creationism is NOT a threat to science”
Of course not. Superstition is the threat that wants to substitute supernatural explanations for phenomena and creationism is... wait a minute. Actually, it is a threat. Throwing up your hands at puzzles and saying, “God did it so let God do it,” isn’t how transistors or pickle slicers come to be.
Sorry, false.
No, it's a threat to education. Creationists will have zero impact on scientists' work. However, if not resisted, they can and will undermine science education and generally increase the level of ignorance and superstition among the public at large.
Leave it to the Beeb to portray faith as an ugly, unneeded force.
