WHY I OBJECT TO BIBLICAL CREATIONISM: It is malinspired, incorrect, and
useless.
1. It is MALINSPIRED, because the theory of evolution is correct:
a. It is a proven fact than life adapts to it's environment over
numerous generations.
b: Even without ANY fossil record, it is a hypothetical fact that
complex life can be forged naturally by environmental pressures of
millions of generations of an population of molecular replicators, and
that is it quite probable.
c: With point B in mind, the fossil record can be traced and compared
to environmental dynamics throughout the Earth's history -- and has,
very thoroughly.
2. It is INCORRECT: The Earth is not 6000 years old, this is quite
clear. Mankind's ancestors are not a single couple of Homo Sapiens
called Adam and Eve, because the number of generations doesn't match
migration patterns at all. The sky is not a former part of the sea,
although to a guesser, it might look like it(they meet in the horizon),
implying that biblical creationism is an elaborate wild guess evolved
from earlier creation myths, refined over centuries into folklore, and
finally, literature.
3. It is USELESS: Much has been gained from our knowledge of evolution
and in fact, it is actually so proven that if you chose to ignore it,
much of what we know about biology would become inexplicable once
more(even by creationism). "You can't take the benefits of science -
medicine, technology, chemistry, etc. - then deny results the same
methodology leads to, like evolution. It's a package deal." -- Bob

WHY, oh WHY do creationists keeping dispensing this swill. SPECIATION

There is no way to PROVE this. You do not
understand the Scientific Method if you believe that MACROEVOLUTION can
be proven. I am currently studying Anthropology, and the first thing
that my Anthropology Professor said is that in order to prove something
scientifically you MUST be able to REPRODUCE IT.
an observation is exactly that. it is useless to pretend something
does not happen when it's SEEN.
The reasons that I say your arguments are not well laid out is because
each one of them rests on a logical falicy. Point 1 assumes that
Evolution is correct without any evidence to back it up. This is called
Apealing to False authority.
evolution is done in the lab. it's reproducible.
The Authority here is the THEORY of
Evolution. (BTW, the Fosil Record is far from complete).
every transitional fossil discovered, so creationists think, creates 2
more gaps...
you're recycling tired, hoary creationist argument.
Point 2 again
makes points with no backing. Show me one shred of evidence that the
Bible is a wild guess at explaining the creation of the world.
you mean other than it appeals to authority? 'god said it, so it must
be so'?
You say
it evolved from earlier myths, show me the myths (if you do your
homework, you will find that the Genesis account is quite different
from anything else you will find). Point 3 is simply a bad point. Just
because it doesn't serve a purpose that you can see doesn't mean it is
useless. Like I said, the Genesis account is not intended to cure
disease, bring about world peace, or any of the other things you claim
we can credit to evolution.
ROFLMAO!! no one claims anything for evolution other than the origin
of species.
It is there to recount the process in which
God created the earth. The Bible has given more people purpose in life
than Evolution ever could. If you ask me, evolution is worthless... if
you're ok being a random mutation with no purpose in life the so beit.
I'm sorry that you don't value yourself over a protazoa.
rarely has such little value been demostrated in a single post. true
creationist propaganda.
hope you're not planning on becoming an anthropologist.

I'd wish that the creationists that deny speciation and the creationists

together and argue out a common position.

Its proved everyday by working scientists.
The problem is, the creationists won't look at the proof, the hard
evidence. Many of them are simply too stupid to deal with it anyway.

Oh yeah, I'm curious as to how many of you have actually studied the
Bible beyond a surface level? If you haven't studied it in at least a
college level course, then you haven't studied the Bible as much as I

When I were a lad, and I took historical geology in college,
we started with the biblical creation and were taken along
the course of early geologists, Hutton et al, how they discovered
the vast age of the earth, and how the bible was debunked
as not having much to do with with science.
We were told about people like Ussher who 'proved'
that creation happened in 4004 BCE, October 9th, on a
Saturday and the two accopunts of creation in Genesis.
Basically, most scientists early on, have to come to grips
with the fact that science didn't just drop from the skies and that
in the early 1800's science started from scratch and rapidly
displace the bible as an authority for very sound reasons.
Few scientists don't know the basic history oftheir own fields
of study. Its hard not to learn that when learning the basics.
Most scientists are very well aware of the bible in pre-scientific
ages which historically speaking, wasn't that long ago.
If any bible goons think scientists know nothing
of the bible, they are very,very much mistaken.

I did read the whole thing at least twice. Once as a kid (because my
father, who gave up Christianity, said I should read it to know what
the book's about to make up my own mind) and another time while in OSUT
in the US Army (because outside of the Soldier's Handbook and letters
from home, the Bible was the only book we were allowed to read in the
little spare time we got. I went to church on Sundays during those 15
weeks, but like most guys, we did it to get away from it all for a
couple hours on Sunday and because the Pentacostal churches had cookies
and gospel music which was a nice break from cadences). As for
"studying it", there's no need. It's not a science book nor does it
look like a book for God to be the "omnibenevolent" being that thumpers
purport him to be. Number 31 proves quite clearly that if the Biblical
God does exist, he's a vile *****.

Your do not show any evidence whatsoever of having studied evolution,
first of all.
Secondly, are you saying that college professors are better at

Probably most of us have studied more bibles, more times and at deeper
levels, than you have.
If you haven't studied it in at least a

The bible is a piece of literature. It can be studied as any other
piece of literature. Any claims to the contrary are special pleading.

If you haven't studied it in at least a
college level course, then you haven't studied the Bible as much as I
have studied Evolution, and probably shouldn't be making claims about
something you have no real knowledge of.
gee...millions of xtians study the bible with no formal training at
all. and if you're a creationist you know zip about science.

*sigh* Must we always see the same hands? Some of you are unprepared.
Again.
And you know whom I'm talking about.
And I understand that some of you have brought a theory of creation. Did
you bring
enough to share with everybody?
Oh, by the way. If I catch the person who wrote "Evolution is wrong because
Darwin
was a dootyhead"

You want to congratulate the creationist who wrote it because it is the
best argument against evolution they have yet managed to muster?

Had you studied evolution (no need for capitals here) you wouldn't
need to make a fool of yourself in public.

There are at least a few people in talk.origins that I know for a fact
have at least some formal background in theology. Speaking personally,
I have taken a number of courses in theology and scripture at the
college level. In fact, it's entirely possible that I have studied
both the Bible and Evolution more than you have. But that really
doesn't mean much. After all, as far as I can tell, the fact that you
claim to have taken a college level course in evolution doesn't appear
to have prevented you from making claims about something that you have
no real knowledge of.

Well, I have read the entire Bible. Also the Apocrypha, Koran, Enuma
Elish, Gilgamesh epic, Egyptian Book of the Dead, Zend Avesta,
Kalevala, Prose Edda, Mabinogi, Iliad, Odyssey, Hesiod's Theogeny,
Shah Nama, Rig Veda, Mahabharata, Ramayana, various Upanishads,
Kojiki, Kumulipau, Popol Vuh, Huarochiri Manuscript, Mwindo Epic, and
creation myths from at least a hundred additional cultures. So I
consider myself qualified to discuss creationism. Are you qualified?

Not as much as *I* am! I was born about 10,000 years ago, and there
ain't nothing in this world that I don't know. I saw Peter, Paul and
Moses playing ring-around-the-roses, and I can whup the guy who says it
isn't so.
