Evolution is a framework through which scientific data is filtered and interpreted. Creationism is a framework through which scientific data is filtered and interpreted. The data fits the creation framework AT LEAST as well as it fits the evolution framework.

The Theory of Evolution is the model that most adequately explains the (unfiltered) data. Creationism is a pseudoscience designed to compel the scientifically illiterate by making religiously based arguments regarding biological processes.

Well, sure. What data would not fit the creation framework? No matter what you observed, you could always say "God made it that way."

But what's the predictive ability of the creation framework? The evolution framework gives scientists a basis for making predictions--the classic example is why we need new flu shots every year and how they decide what to put in the ones we get. What prediction can you make based on "God made it that way"?

Please read my post #52.

Evolutionists are the biggest bullies on the educational block.

Evolutionist tend to be the biggest supporters of compulsory-funded, compulsory-use, socialist-entitlment K-12 schooling. Gee! I wonder why?

They want to force feed other people's children on a religiously NON-neutral worldview and FORCE taxpayers to pay for it.
