Oh please...then why is the "big bang" claim made by evolutionists? Why was the "pond scum" theory put forth by evolutionists until it was debunked?
The biggest question is...why such a hatred of creationism by Darwinists? I suspect we can conclude that those who deny original intelligent design by espousing Darwinism are merely atheists grasping at straws to support their particular brand of "religion".
We can call it religion because it is only on their fervent faith...and of course, deception which has been proven time and again (e.g. Piltdown Man, Archaeoraptor, Nebraska Man)...that it survives scrutiny by the mostly uneducated masses today, taught by liberal professors who have been hell bent on dumbing down the system for decades so they can impose socialism and eventually communism. You want evolution...you need to look no further than the education system, we have evolved into a nation of sheep ready for the slaughter.
I could swear that the big bang hypothesis was first put forth by a Catholic Priest and later confrimed by astronomers like Hubble and by physists. I don't recall cosmology being a branch of biology.
I would call it pity rather than hatred. But I suppose the feeling can be similar to what women felt when biblical literalists said anesthesia during childbirth is forbidden by Genesis, or what ordinary people feel when they see a child die because the parents withheld medical care for religious reasons.
Faith can be right or wrong, and the results good or bad. People had faith in Jim Jones. Just having faith doesn't protect you from being wrong.
There comes a time in any field of science when the basic ideas are beyond doubt. The earth is spherical. It orbits the sun and not vice versa. The earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Living things are related by descent.
