No one thinks about creationism more than the secular Left.
I've been reminded of this fact while watching leftist coverage of Fox's series "Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey." With each body-blow to young-earth creationism, lefty writers cheer like WWE fans watching a compilation of John Cena highlights.

The reporter's question refers to this: GOP Debate - Evolution Question.
I’ve noticed the atheists on liveleak posting many videos about this as well. The usual straw man nonsense.
To be a Young Earth creationist BIILLIONS OF YEARS EVOLUTIONIST is to hold a truly unique place in the history of wrongness. These religious ideologues don’t just deny human evolutionGOD'S WORD; their belief in a universe that is only a few thousand BILLIONS OF years old commits them to an enormity of other errors, including many beliefs that fly in the face of modern physics, SUCH AS VOLCANOES ON PLANETS THAT SHOULD HAVE LONG SINCE COOLED AND THAT FACT THAT THE CONTINENTS HAVEN'T ERODED AWAY ALREADY.
There, fixed it.
Nothing strange about it.They hate creationism because it means there’s a creator.A creator who gave a moral code of conduct that He expects to be observed,or there will be severe consequences.Since these leftists are not willing to put any limits on their depravity,it creats a problem.
There are plenty of things that Mike Huckabee gets wrong, but he’s right about this and articulated it quite well. On this particular matter alone, I say without hesitation, go Mike go!
What do they say about islam’s creation story?
I don’t know. Ask them.
Heads Up!
mooselimbs adhere to leftist views and thus deny the role of God in creation. Ergo, mooselimbs are evolutionists. It fits their model of the world quite well considering that the murderous founder of that cult was a homosexualist and pedophile. Since Almighty God isn’t part of their belief system, anything goes.
Not every continent or planet or star or solar system in the universe is the same age.
This life is all there is! No better way to spend it than posting 10,000 hateful comments on LiveLink or Youtube \s
The theistic (Christian) evolutionists miss the big picture.
Since both Jesus and the Apostles believed in the literal story of creation (and since there is a lineage that directly connects Adam with Christ) it must be true.
Yeah ... come to think about it — they think about it MORE than the creationists do ... LOL ...
They ignore the Islamists because they don’t want to be killed by them ... :-) ...

Jesus believed in the Creation but I don’t think He narrowed it down to seven literal earth days.
God created day and night, his day and night, his measure of time, before he placed the stars, sun and moon to mark the seasons and time of man’s day. Is there a Biblical reference that says God’s day is the same length of time as an earth day?
Everyone has a right to their religious beliefs. That’s a truism in this country, at least it should be. I do not, however, accept the concept of young earth creationism. I don’t care whose creation myths you bring up. Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Navajo, you name it. The story of the earth is beneath out feet and in the sky above us and we are just beginning to have the tools to understand some portion of it.
In fairness to other posters on FR, I’ve watched flood geology presentations from a Dr. Snelling and Dr. Baumgartner (spellings to the best of my memory). They are frankly nonsense. While they were accepted by geologists some 200 years ago, they have been proven wrong conclusively by observation and experimentation that is repeatable and which works in the real world. Geology, particularly plate tectonics and basic structural geology has a credible and usable response for each objection the flood geologists present.
Logical fallacies are rife in the young earth science on evolution. For instance the anti evolutionist defines transitional fossils as being ones possessing traits from unrelated species. Say, an alligator horse. Everyone thinks that’s nonsense. Also, they talk about microevolution and macroevolution, a distinction science doesn’t deal with. It’s all microevolution. Changes within species lead to other species. Simple.
So, the continents haven’t all eroded into the sea because they are constantly building, colliding, creating new rock (volcanic). They move, bump into each other and split apart. The ocean floor splits apart forming new ocean floor which eventually slides under the continent as was demonstrated in Chili’s recent earthquake.
How do I know? I worked in a number of mines discovered based on structural geology in large part. The very things that Dr. Baumgartner says prove flood geology can be demonstrated to be false by the geology of these mining districts. You have sedimentary rock with ocean fossils above and below igneous with many faults and intrusive igneous rock with zones of mineralization. It all took a long, long time, millions of years. Knowing rock ages lead the geologists to the ore body.
However, anyone can believe what they want as long as they don’t mandate my grandchild be taught demonstratively false science. You can have your own schools and I can have mine.
They also miss the point that evolution requires death and if deathwas there in the beginning, there is no reason for a savior.
