Postmodernism is identical to Creationism. Both have at their heart and soul the denial of scientific inquiry as a method of gaining knowledge and the elevation of their "feelings" to a superior status. The Creationists claim that their religious feelings are superior to any scientific claim.

Postmodernism is identical to Creationism.

Postmodernism has more in common with eastern religion and evolution.

Both have at their heart and soul the denial of scientific inquiry as a method of gaining knowledge and the elevation of their "feelings" to a superior status.

Just like Isaac Newton, the creationist, denied scientific inquiry? Evolutionism does more damage to the credibility of science and, as a matter of interest, began the rise in popular thought about the same time empiricism was collapsing.

The Creationists claim that their religious feelings are superior to any scientific claim.

They make no such claim. They don't elevate "scientific" claims to the point where they swallow every pigs tooth, manufactured fossil and science fiction story that comes along.

If anything was demonstrated at the Scopes trial, it was that evolutionists will claim any hoax is true, including Nebraska Man, so long as it supports their end. That sounds pretty postmodern to me.
