One thing this thread has proven is that many of you are products of your education. Schools teach evolution, so you believe it. And since universities teach that only uneducated people believe in creation, many choose to not even consider the possibility of creation for fear of being labeled crazy. As for myself, I have no such concerns. I think creation best explains the world and have read much on the matter.

Just one historical footnote. Before the Scopes, trial creation was the only version of "in the beginning" taught in schools. Then Darrow, an atheist and early founder of humanism, sued to get schools to accept Darwinism as a possibility. Now, 80 years later, ONLY evolution is being taught in schools. All many of us would like is to return to the post-Darrow ruling that both should be taught.

But evolutionist faith won't allow opposition. The humanist now have their own inquisition to stop alternative thought.

Why just Biblican creation? Why not the creation myths of other religion? How about the Hoopi Indian creation story?

I think that the real problem is not that people "oppose" alternative viewpoints, I think that the problem is that intelligent, educated people understand that creationism is not science and as such does not belong in a science classroom. Unfortunately, those pushing creationism are clearly uneducated in science, which is why they mistakenly believe that the religion that they are trying to push is actually "science".

But, hey, if I'm wrong, prove me wrong by stating the "scientific theory of creationism", including what it predicts, how it can be tested and what hypothetical observation would falsify it.
