It all comes down to this: Creationists must rely on magic for their belief. You must believe that the world was created in 6 days, that all of the world's animals fit on an ark and lived peacefully together, that fossils from the "flood" all became layered in the rocks at the same levels all over the world, that unique animals, like those of Australia, just decided to all walk over there after the flood, that people turned into salt, seas were parted with a wave of the hand, water into wine, loaves and fishes from nothing, raising the dead,...etc,... It is no different than any other myths around the world. If it was in the Bible that the world started on the back of a giant turtle, Christianity would lap it up. Science ATTEMPTS to learn about the world by what we OBSERVE, not something out of the imagination of early peoples trying to make sense of a scary unknown world. Science is NOT perfect, but at least it is not living in a fantasy world. Who is happier? Definitely the Religious. They have a place to go after they die; all happy and skipping around the streets made of gold. I prefer to live with the hard reality of life and death and enjoy the time I have here while I can.
