The word of God, in its entirety, says only man is made in God’s image, not all of creation.
The word of God, in its entirety, references the creation account as true, not just in the beginning of Genesis.
Scientists do not now, nor have they ever, imagined better than God. They imagine wrongly, sometimes, but not better.
“In comparison, the god (I can hardly call it “God”) of creationism is puny thing, having created only 6000 years of history and one species to praise him and having done so with all the grace of a cow turd.”
The above quote is vile. Creating the entire universe in six days is puny? Are you for real?
And all of creation praises Him, not just mankind.
Psalm 69:34 “Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.”
I think you are just making it up as you go along. I see little Biblical evidence for any of your ideas.
“For since the CREATION of the world, His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
because,
although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish harts were darkened.
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man - and birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies, among themselves, who exchanged the TRUTH OF GOD FOR THE LIE, and worshipped and serve the creature RATHER THAN THE CREATOR, who is blessed forever. Amen.” (Romans 2:20-25, emphasis added).
Where is the biblical evidence for evolution? If you were raised to see God as a Creator of a universe that is billions of years old and started from a single cell, you were also raised to disregard the consummate teaching of how God made the world that runs throughout the Bible and is only reinforced, never contradicted.
Of course they haven't. And since what is in scientists' imaginations is grander and better than what is in the creationist viewpoint, then creationism cannot be what God did.
"Where is the Biblical evidence for evolution?" you ask. Genesis 2:7. "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground." The word translated as "formed" is more specific in Hebrew. It is the term for a potter forming clay into a vessel.
A potter does not throw clay down and have it instantly take the form he wants. He molds it, shaping it through intermediate shapes, until it takes the form he wants. So man started at formlessness and evolved through intermediate forms, until he reached the form God intended for us.
Genesis 2:7, in the original, as God wrote it, describes evolution.
Then you start finding details. Per the theory of evolution, when man evolved from the ape-like creature that preceded him, he lost a rib. With the loss of a rib, man became civilized. So the Bible says, the civilizing influence of man was formed of a rib.
If I could read the Bible in its original languages, I'm sure I would find more.
In any case, if God created in six days, then yes, that is puny. For what is 6 days of praise, compared to billions of years of praise? And if the stars and all the heavens praise God, the certainly so does any life that exists around them.
If that is exchanging the truth for the lie -- if that condemns me -- so be it. If my pitiable imagination is that much greater than creation, then the creator is a disappointment, who does not deserve anyone's worship.
I don't worship puny-minded gods. And that is what the FALSE god of creationism, in the face of science and understanding of the Bible.
If nothing else, I can’t be accused of being an “atheist evolutionist.”
