Creationism in biology is the same as telling pilots that a plane flies because God holds it up.

Why is it that when creationists critique evolution, evos' first reply is "You don't understand evolution"; yet you folks can get away with stuff like this which indicates you don't have the first flying clue what creationism is?

As we've discussed countless times, much of modern science was developed by creationists of some sort or other. It was classical Christianity which fostered a worldview which motivated the very pursuit of scientific investigation.

As it turns out, Daniel Bernoulli, of Bernoulli effect fame, was from a devout Reformed Christian family. Doh!

In what context? If Creationism means that God started the whole process and the process has gone forward as stated in the TOE, then there is no conflict.

If Creationsim says {poof} -- "God made man in His Image" and it happened instantaneously with a bolt of lightning, then that is not a "theory" but a belief and has no place in rational scientific discussion.

Nice to know and of zero meaning to the discussion at hand. I am a devout Christian and yet understand what the Theory Of Evolution is and how it applies.
