Creationism being taught in schools is a not all bad

Which part are you talking about? Now that the reply doesn't include the whole text one is replying to it makes it a bit confusing to reply without the above reference completely visible.

Besides this, can't you see how your continual mocking is pointless.

Surely children should be exposed to a plethora of ideas and allowed to choose from the wealth of knowledge which is being imparted on them daily and make their own choice

Hang on! You are a YEC, you cannot accept the big bang, but you are claiming your 'book' foretells it.

There is no above the Earth. There is no circle of the Earth. So it means what is most likely, these ancients saw the earth as a flat disc, welcome to all the YEC's into the flat Earth society.

It is no good spouting your answers in genesis tripe here. We know your ****(poo). It would be wiser for you to understand the science rather than make fatuous statements.

Now that the holidays are starting maybe your 'science teacher' would like another GUEST appearance.

Its the way someone like you, who sounds reasonably intelligent can believe such fairy stories and be so uncritical about it all. Its like a 40 year old man telling you he believes in Father Christmas, fairies and leprechauns.

Teach it in English as an example of high fantasy similar to Narnia or Lord of the Rings. The Bible is the greatest fictional hoax in the world's history even the radio broadcast of the War of the Worlds is not comparable in the amount of people it has fooled into believing the novel is real.

I could almost take that as a compliment

The common linking of belief in God to believing in Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy is a very clever deception and faulty logic. Even if we say Santa doesn't exist there is no reason why God shouldn't, its a weak analogy.

I never said god does not exist, I said you reduce religion to fairy tales. Only a minority of Christains believe in Creationism, many Christians don't.

"The Universe at every moment after the cosmic expansion event we call the big bang (I don't like the term, it wasn't a bang at all - it was space itself stretching everywhere) has been naturalistic so it makes no sense for religious creationist ideas to even be considered."

Except you miss out one very important factor and that is that God ordained it to be recorded in the bible so we would have no doubt that God created the universe.

Isaiah records the following

Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Isaiah
The Isaiah scroll, the oldest surviving manuscript of Isaiah: found among the Dead Sea Scrolls and dating from about 150 to 100 BCE, it contains almost the whole Book of Isaiah and is substantially identical with the modern Masoretic text.

Now all you have to do is show independent evidence that your god caused that to be written. That should be simple, shouldn't it?

The sarcastic undertone isn't necessary.*

... Only a minority of Christains believe in Creationism, many Christians don't.

Neither is the specious proselytising. But the evidence is. Where is it?

"Only a minority of Christians believe in Creationism, many Christians don't"

really? I have been a Christian for many years and have never come across a Christian who doesn't believe that God was the creator, of everything.

In fact I would say you aren't a Christian if you don't. This is a fundamental of our faith, just like the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and his ascension to heaven are.

It's plainly there if you want to open your eyes to it, if you don't then don't.

It's plainly there if you want to open your eyes to it, if you don't then don't.

Well, I guess you can call it a Pooh-pooh fallacy. But to be fair, they don't really deserve attention. It demonstrates an utter failure of our education system where we have people believing in Young-Earth Creationism and Flat Earth 'Theory'.


Such as what?

Yes, are you?




You're aware of the timescales involved, right?

A couple questions; The Cambrian Period was roughly 5-6 hundred million yrs. ago. Given the slow pace of evolution, It would seem there has not been sufficient time for life to have evolved from simple, single celled life forms, to the level of complexity of mammals and finally modern man.

Regarding the variety of life. If I understand it correctly, organisms evolve in response to external influences in the environment around them. There have been a wide range of environments on the Earth but, has the variety been sufficiently different, especially given the fact that adaptation allows an organism to respond to small changes?
