How does "Creationism" hold "us" back intellectually? Are you inhibited from learning or progressing mentally because your neighbor is a "Creationist"? Is the scientific establishment inhibited from carrying out science because some people are "Creationists"? Of course not. Don't be absurd.

TSK,

I'm not interesting in joining the Evo/Cre debate, because it results in a bunch of people convincing no one of each others side. I came only to support AiG in their fight to have a voice. But I felt you deserved more than me just ignoring you :)

I do feel Creationism keeps people from trying to continue to understand the world around them, and as a meme inhibits people from being more scientifically minded in general. I am not a big believer in something that I personally feel is PURELY based on faith, as opposed to something that, while still theoretical in many respects, is more based in fact.

And I know you don't agree with me, and we can go back and forth and back and forth, and nothing constructive will happen. So sorry...I believe in what I believe, but I do hope AiG wins this fight against S.A.

And thats pretty much that. Anyone else want to respond, great...just dont' expect an answer from me. Thanks :)

It may well keep invidiuals from learning certain versions of scientific information, but it doesn't "hold us back". You are free to move forward, as am I, but if someone wants to be a Creationist, more power to them.

May it never be. The Psalms tell us to consider the heavens the moon the stars etc. to glory in the work of creation. Christians are to take dominion over creation, and this is best done first studying it. Creationism doesn’t lead to ignorance, but it is the path to wisdom.
