Should we seriously accept scientific "proof" from the side that claims Creationism is science?

    I think you worded it wrong. It is not whether or not there is a divine being, that is a matter of faith. There some things, however, that there is no scientific explanation for and one could argue creationism as well as anything else. For instance, from a metaphysical standpoint, if the world was created by the "big bang" what existed before the big bang. Takes some heavy thinking.

    I wouldnt call it proof but I would call it criticism. And actually I do like some of what they say like the evolution of vision. Thats a pretty tough one to explain and it gives science a direction to work on rather than saying ok all done with evoution.

    There is no scientific proof in creationism. I believe in it, and believe that we have evolved. Not everything is going to be explained by cold hard facts.

    Yes, if it adheres to the standards of science. That has not happened yet, and probably never will, since they're not interested in objective examination of facts, but rather trying to find a back door into schools so they can take time away from actual science.

    There also has to be balance in respect that science relies a lot on speculation as well. There is just as much danger in seeing scientific speculation as tablets of stone delivered on a mountaintop.

    No, just continue to accept all your scientific advice from your buddy fat Albert, especially the part about his 20 room mansion being carbon neutral.

    Well, I'm a chemist, trained in the scientific method, and I have yet to see even one compelling argument for intelligent design, as it's expressed by it's proponents.

    And so the alternative? Accept scientific "proof" from the side that thinks evolution isn't a religion?

    Origin theory needs to be taken out of education until high school.

    Science and religion are not mutually exclusive, and the harder evolutionists (and gw theorists) attempt to force religion out of the equation, the more of a religion science will become.

    scientific proof is the only way. Why listen to something which the 'bible' says? Do we actually 'believe' that immaculate conception happened? Why listen to blind faith?

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes, creationism and evolutionism are both THEORIES. Never of them is proven as fact, something people fail or don't want to accept. Children in public schools should be offered both sides of the spectrum. Also, I believe that evolution shouldn't be seen as an attack on Christians, who is to say that God did not create evolution when He was creating the planet as we know it?
