I believe in the science of Darwinism, and I believe in the story of creation as written in the Bible.

The first belief is practical, and the second is faith-based. I don’t have a problem with that, so I don’t beat the contradictions to death.

A belief in God (or whatever you want to call it) does not deny science, but does help us reach an understanding of certain mysteries of life and nature not otherwise explainable (yet).

There are plenty of old-time articles of faith which science has rendered obsolete. Nevertheless, going back to the very beginning, there is no science (there are theories) to explain how cells found their way to connect with each other and create life. God did that. [bold emphasis mine]

The science of Darwinism says Creation didn't happen.(Or even need to)

Creation [as written in the bible] says Darwinian abiogenesis didn't happen.


Scenario:

Witness A says the defendant stole $1 from the church.
Witness B says the defendant gave $1 to the church.

I believe in the science of witness A's testimony, and I believe in the story of witness B's testimony.(paraphrase)

The first belief is practical, and the second is faith-based. I don’t have a problem with that, so I don’t beat the contradictions to death. [excerpt]


Looks like relativism to me.

False. The theory of evolution says nothing about deities.

False again. Darwin had nothing to do with abiogenesis, nor does evolution. There is no such thing as "Darwinian abiogenesis." That is a creationist propaganda phrase. Goebbels would be proud of it!

Darwinism isn't true science since it doesn't have evidence of species migrating to another species. It is not practical at all but very flawed and requires an enormous amount of (blind) faith to adhere to it.

Creation is not faith-based, but based on overwhelming evidence of intelligence involved in the design of living things everywhere.

Practical facts support Creation and do not support Darwinism.
