Nothing in the article displays evidence of an interest in even basic science, facts, or proof.
The biggest problem for the bible-based creationist effort is that it hinges on defending a very narrowly defined statement: God created all of the universe, fully formed as we know it now, in six earth days. It was also done exactly as the King James (or whatever) version of the bible states it... in English.
Science is not a competing religion (there are no shrines to the ‘time god’), it’s a way of discovering more about the world around us. Shouting down science is not a method of proving a point, it’s a way of declaring that you’re not interested in learning more. If creation in fact happened exactly as described by the bible, scientists will eventually uncover evidence to unambiguously support that position. If your faith isn’t strong enough to wait, it isn’t the fault of the evil time god.
“It was also done exactly as the King James (or whatever) version of the bible states it... in English.”
Who says that? Where’s that from?
“If creation in fact happened exactly as described by the bible, scientists will eventually uncover evidence to unambiguously support that position. If your faith isn’t strong enough to wait, it isn’t the fault of the evil time god.”
Odd stuff. “If your faith is strong enought to wait”?? For science to catch up with fact? That’s a very odd way of thinking. Science is catching up, slowly. For centuries mockers mocked the idea that the flood “came up from the great deep”, believing the Earth to be a solid mass. Now in 2007 they find an arctic ocean’s worthy of water in the mantle, and evidence of a global catastrophic flood 4400 years ago is mounting up.
Your statement is baffling. You expect people to aquiesce to whatever “consensus science” says, whether it’s right or wrong?
