RE :”I don't see you ridiculing belief in the “virgin birth” anywhere. That violates the laws of science too, you know. Or is that “different?”
When Creationist propose teaching “virgin birth” in biology science class and claim its not religion but biology I will ridicule that idea too, but right now I am having enough fun with this.
In other words, you don't ever intend to ridicule that particular idea because you believe in it yourself. Some "scientist" you are.
Do you also believe that Mary made the sun dance in Portugal in 1917? Why did it dance there and not anywhere else?
No, creationism isn't science. Neither is evolutionism (biological or cosmic) for the simple reason that cosmogony is outside the purview of science altogether. Most creationists have to claim "creationism isn't religion" because they come out of mindset that separates "religion" from other facets of life. There is no such separation. Neither is there any "religious freedom" to worship a false "gxd." Religion is not in fact a subjective aspect of ethnocultural folklore; it is in fact like mathematics, meaning objectively true and factual and excluding all claims that disagree with it. But so long as FReepers and American conservatives accept the subjectivism of the Protestant (and to an extent, chrstian, worldview) they will be claiming that "creation isn't religion" and that everyone has the "right" to worship or not worship anything. Fortunately, I reject all such subjectivistic nonsense. Children should be taught religion in the classrooms and all nations should recognize the True G-d--formally.
Before closing, I note the almost stereotypical cruelty with which you make fun of creationists while studiously avoiding all other supernatural phenomena, real or alleged. Aside from the fact that you obviously believe that the events of the first eleven chapters of Genesis are somehow "uniquely impossible" in a way no other supernatural event is, there is the contributing factor that poor rural Southern whites (the "only people in the world who believe in creationism," as everybody "knows") are the only safe target for such scorn in the entire world. I would be tempted to assume you single them out because you are a gutless coward who doesn't have the 'ovnayim to take on anyone else, but your cute little "joke" about Tevat Noach marks you as an anti-Semite as well.
Ironically, there is a war over CHaZa"L vs. science currently being waged in the frum Jewish world. It swirls around this book, if anyone is interested.
I am free to believe what I want and so are you, but the reason its not taught in biology class is it has nothing to do with human biology.
No, they claim its not religion when they know full well it is religion, just like you know it.
Because they see evolution as a threat to Christianity(atheists help feed that fallacy too) .
That is all Creationism is all about.
Its whole foundation is a lie, so all it can produce is other lies. Its Blasphemy in that sense.
