What truly bothers me about creationism is the malicious fallout that can occur when it is viewed from the outside by Christianity’s opponents. Yes, you guys are clearly weak in faith and require the firmament of supposedly inerrant words to which to anchor. Fine—please reassure yourselves, but do so in private. Unfortunately, there is a lot of resistance to Christianity in the real world, and your particular small subgenre is being used to characterize the rest of us in a truly offensive way. We Christians object to being portrayed as feeble-minded by association.
So sayeth Buck W., Christian, purveyor of wisdom, seeker of truth, fair arbiter, and demonstrably kind to kittens and other small animals.
It really doesn’t matter what line of reasoning the accommodationist applies to the science vs creation argument, because he has already framed the argument from the perspective that truth is discerned independent of God.
The more basic perspective is to ask if one finds the Word of God to be more veritable or science more veritable for absolute truth.
Once that is established, then one’s faith has been identified either through faith in Christ or in something added to or independent of Him.
You should focus your efforts (and yourself) on what Christianity actually is instead of what or how creationism will damage it; and what misrepresenting Christianity itself is doing to “outsiders”, and not creationism.
And no, treating kittens nice isn’t it either Bucky.
