While creationism doesn't necessarily exclude evolution, evolution DOES exclude creationism.

False statement.

Creationism as generally discussed on this forum and most other says that God created Man: {poof} as literally stated in Genesis. This says that Evolution did not happen/is not happening.

Evolution is silent on what happens outside of observable evidence and events. You can believe in a God that created the Universe and set in motion all the mechanism we see (in fact I think the more we learn the more awesome God is -- creationism minimizes God).

False statement.

Creationism, as discussed on this forum says God created Man (along with other life on Earth) and it evolved from there.

I've seen more than one creationist make the statement that they didn't have a problem with evolution UNTIL it tried to justify that initial creation.

Odd. I know for a fact we were taught the first life on Earth 'slithered out of the primordial ooze' in science class. As far as I know, no one was around to observe that.

Which was pretty much the point I was making....but you DID say it better.
