Creationism is not a theory, it is a religious belief based upon a specific interpretation of Genesis that has no basis in evidence, namely a young earth and the near simultaneous creation of and contemporaniousness of all living species.

“Only an atheist, or someone who has been force feed a glamorized version of Human Evolution in the educational system, would accept Human Evolution as a scientific fact or even a sound scientific theory proven true through the scientific method.” Jame2099

Do you consider Pope Benedict XVI an atheist, or lack the soundness of his education in the theory?

“This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.” Pope Benedict XVI

None of the dating systems prove using science that the earth is an ancient, 5 billion year old planet. They simply "think" that it is by using these systems. There is no way anyone could ever say those ages are a scientific fact. Human Evolution is a religious belief based on the beliefs and teachings of Darwin see my previous posts. It may use the scientific method, but it fails to have a true hypothesis, how does that make it any different than creationism in your mind? Would creationism not fail to create a true hypothesis using the scientific method in your opinion? Then if they both fail, where does that leave us?

I disagree with him that the clash is an absurdity, he has a right to his own opinion. Just because he gives credit to evolution does not mean he is giving credit to Human Evolution. If someone asked him if we came from monkeys, I doubt he would answer with a, "Yes". He may be speaking of animal evolution (such as horses), but I'm not sure. Human Evolution is what I'm speaking of and it has no proof whatsoever.

If you’re goign to argue something- try to be itnellectually honest- Creationism DOES have evidence to support it, and you know it- You just a priori reject the evidence- while that is your right, let’s try to be intellectually honest at least when answering folks
