You seem new to the crevo threads. Is it so hard for Darwinists to understand that Creationism is based on years of scientific research? If you still haven't realized that then I have no reason to believe you know anything about origins.

Your condescension regarding those who do not believe as you do is just as repugnant as the moslem cultists and their "conversion by the sword, we are right, you are all infidels".

Well, I haven't sawed anyone's head off on camera yet, but if that's the way you feel, what can I say?

"Almost every culture has a creation myth. On Biblical creation presuppositions, they are all basically variations of the core theme of the God-given creation account found in Genesis. A number of researchers have concluded that the source of all creation myths stems back to a common point, probably actual historical events in history (Van Over 1980; Roth, 1981). They all come from one early source and are different only because time and local cultural circumstances have embellished or altered them. This is the reason why the details in the creation myths vary, but either the basic outline is similar, or at least they share common elements."

FYI: I have browsed these thread for a number of years, but your comment finally irritated me enough to make a reply. I am by training a scientist (microbiology/biochemistry). I have worked in a number of disciplines both in the military and after retirement in the civilian sector. I currently teach computer information systems courses at a small private and conservative university. I have kept up on and studied origins of the universe and life on earth for many years. 40 years ago what passed for "scientific" research on creationism was at best trying to prove that concepts such as the earth is only 6000 years old. It has changed little up to today.

Creationism puts forth a dogmatic view that a much edited collection of books details to modern man exact history and science. I thought that Christ brought forth the new era with a new testament that swept aside the old books. If you adhere to the old books then you do not fully accept that Christ brought about a new era that did not base its faith and belief on strict adherance to the old testament.

Are there parts of the old testament that have elements of truth historically? Sure there are. There was a great flood for instance, but that along with many other events in the OT are also written in the sacred books of other religions and have differences which would be expected in stories brought down through thousands of years and thousands of authors. The OT was written and rewritten for peoples who were uneducated and very much limited to knowledge of their own piece of the world and for many their "world" was limited to maybe a 100 square miles.

I know about the various ideas of the origins of man and the earth and the universe. You believe what you like, but don't imply that those who may disagree with you are leftists, ignorant or uninformed, once again, that is the self-important view of that cult out there. I did not say that you were a terrorist, just that your statement carried the same smug self-centered view of others beliefs that muslims do.
