Why does creationism need to exist? I think creationism at its heart is just one more iteration of the maxim: "Who do you believe: me or your own lying eyes?"
If yoi interpret the Bible one way, but a veritable mountain of real-world observation says the opposite, then maybe the problem ain't with science.
‘mountain of evidence’? Where? ALL the evieence points to creation- goign beyond hte science is hte ONLY way to come to a macroevolutionary conclusion. The evidence hsows discontinuity- the evidnce STOPS at discontinuity- but we’re ‘assured’ that htere is a ‘mountain of evidence’ that shows ‘continuity’, but when htis ‘mountain’ is examined critically, and objectively, it will be seen to be nothign more htan assumptions that go way beyond what the actual evidence points to. That is why Creationism exists, b3ecause the evidence points to it.
I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt.
