There seems to be plenty of closed mindedness on both sides of the debate. Since evolution cannot be proven fact or false; what makes believers in Darwin’s Evolution any less religious than believers in God’s Creation, which cannot be proven fact or false?
What makes creationism any less scientific than Darwinism?
There may be something to learn from both viewpoints.
It is doubtful that anything positive will come from dogmatism, regardless the source.

I just want to say that I know that Ussher is closer than most scientists. There is a lot of evidence for creation, and a lot that denies evolution. There’s no need for anger here. Are there some of us – most of us, me included – in rebellion against the Creator?

My friend has a PhD in BioChemistry and he personally knows tenured professors with PhDs who privately admit that the evidence points to Creation – but they cannot teach it or openly declare that they’ve found Creation more credible.

Eric Blair was right. There is universal deceit and truth is hard to come by these days [Paraphrased of course].

Please don’t insult me – it’s a waste of time and not profitable. I’ve simply stated what I believe to be true.

If I am wrong, I won’t hold evolutionists in contempt. So don’t hold Creationists in contempt.

Take care.

Forgive my ignorance, but if the earth was millions of years old, and the sun is a product that is getting smaller wouldnt that mean that 100’s of millions of years ago the sun would be to close to the earth to sustain life?

Per,

Thanks for clarifying. I’m glad you had a good time, and I can understand why. Louisiana is a great state. I personally think the best thing about it is the food. I’m just a bit touchy when it comes to perceptions about people from Louisiana. I no longer live there, and i travel widely, but I frequently encounter people who, upon learning where I’m from, act surprised and say things like: “You’re from Louisiana!? But you’re so well spoken and intelligent.” Which, at best, is a back-handed complement.

Yes, there are people in Louisiana that believe in creationism. I had this one experience when I was getting car insurance. The sales representative asked what I did for a living. When I said I was archaeologist, she replied by saying “Oh, so you’re one of those people that believe in evolution.” I was very diplomatic and tried not to offend, mainly because I didn’t want to end up paying too much for car insurance, but it was difficult not to say anything. My point, though, is that you can encounter people such as this just about anywhere. For example, I currently live in Leeds, England, which is where the guy who sent Phil the email about the doomsday asteroid lives.

Your theory is just thatâ€¦ theoryâ€¦ look up the definition guysâ€¦

Okay:

1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.

Hmm. Somehow I think K was expecting this one instead:

7. guess or conjecture.

Not that K is going to be back to read any of this anyway...

how come your people hide it when they are proven wrong

Got an example? Piltdown Man is probably the closest you could get, and even on that one the scientific community eventually admitted they were wrong (after 30 years, granted, but that's still much faster than, say, the Catholic Church's apology to Galileo). Compare and contrast Piltdown Man with a more recent hoax, Archaeoraptor.

or something comes up that proves the BIBLE accurate????

Like what? Some of the locations, sure, but I'm not aware of any events that have been proven (though I do know of several that have been all but proven false).
