America's founding document, the Unanimous Declaration of the States (often wrongly called the Declaration of Independence) is very clear that America's foundation includes a belief in the Creation account of the Bible. "We hold these TRUTHS to be SELF EVIDENT that all men are *CREATED* equal, and that they are endowed by their *CREATOR* with certain unalienable rights ...".
If you are an evolutionist, you are un-American. You have no foundation for the rights we enjoy because they were endowed on us by our Creator. If you have no Creator, you have no unalienable rights. The Creator said, "Thou shalt not kill", therefore killing is wrong and we have the right to life. The Creator said, "Thou shalt not steal", therefore stealing is wrong and we have the right to private property. Our other rights are likewise based on the word of our Creator.
If you deny creation by the Creator, you deny the basis for your rights as an American. George Washington, the "Father of our Country", knew better than that. He recognized God as the literal Creator according to the Genesis account,
"It is impossible to account for the creation of the universe, without the agency of a Supreme Being."
Of course, he made it clear in other comments, exactly who that Supreme Being was, and what attributes He possessed.
Our Constitution assumes the "self-evident" truths of the Declaration concluding with, "In the year of our Lord...". A certain reference to their Christian outlook, their very calendar (and ours) is based on Jesus Christ.
The universe had already done what it had done to create the state of affairs in place then so the point wasn't really negotiable.
More bombast and attacks in place of argument, I see. Dunno why anyone should expect differently any more...
LMAO! Ponder this quote. "Anyone who can't use a slide rule is a cultural illiterate and should not be allowed to vote." Robert Heinlein. This also reminds me of the New York Times newspaper ridiculing Robert Goddard in 1920.
So what "science" do you find acceptable since 1776?
You are kidding...right? The Founding Fathers were concerned about establishing a nation where everyone was free to worship (or not) as they saw fit. Many of the Colonials had suffered religious persecution in the Old World, and I cannot believe they intended to create a new nation that was fundamentally repressive.
I suppose next you'll be telling us that in order to be "saved", a person must be a Creationist. If so, I challenge you to direct us to the appropriate book, chapter and verse in the Bible.
