Can creationists please stop?

Im a Catholic, born and raised. Went to catholic school all the way through, still go to church on weekends.

I hate how creationists make us out to be stupid. The Catholic Church accepts evolution as scientifically factual on the basis that God created the world and set evolution with the goal of creating humans (aka divinely inspired evolution). More recent leaders have preached understanding the difference between scientific fact (evolution) and religious/spiritual truths (God created the world)

However the religiously and scientificly uneducated morons pick and choose what they want from the bible. The creation story says the earth is flat and the sky is blue because there is a dome separating the world from water that goes on infinitely. You dont see people arguing for that.

Update:

Its in politics because i made the mistake of using yahoo's recommended section. sorry

Update 2:

Genesis Chapter 1: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. 2 Pet. 3.5 And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 ¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

Focus on verse 7

Update 3:

And for flat...

1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.”

Psalm 93:1: “Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ...”

Psalm 96:10: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ...”

Psalm 104:5: “Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.”

Isaiah 45:18: “...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...”

    " The creation story says the earth is flat and the sky is blue because there is a dome separating the world from water that goes on infinitely."..... My Bible doesn't say that.

    Most creationist don't have an argument against evolution on a global scale. What I won't believe, no matter how many time that you try to convince me is that there is transitional evolution. Apes, don't become men.

    Ducks don't become pterodactyls, mushrooms don't become roses etc. etc. etc.....

    In my humble opinion, you don't understand the argument.

    edit: Even in your added commentary there is nothing of domes or flat earth....... Firm and immovable does not mean flat, no matter how many verses you quote.

    The theory of evolution contains flaws just like any other theory. I do not know why so many people discount creation by a Supreme Being or God. Evolution has some valid points but it seems there are differences of opinion among scientists. And if one person who says creation is bunk and evolution is 100% true where did the primordial slop come from. Or the big bang. I am a scientist who believes that the world was created by a Supreme Being and many things in the evolutionary theory are true. I have trouble that humans with our superior intelligence evolved from a one celled bacterium, and where did that bacterium come from? People have finite minds and cannot fathom the eternal or infinite, but to discount God is sheer lunacy.

    Wow, I'm not exactly sure which Bible you are reading, but I have never read any version that has stated that the Earth is flat and the sky is blue because there is a dome.

    And you have the nerve to call others stupid????

  • 8 years ago

    Apparently you have never actually read the bible, because the book of Job says the earth is a sphere.

    I have no idea what "dome" you are talking about.

    Maybe you should just stop. :o)

    *****

    Now you are just making yourself look dumb.

    Mountains are fixed and immovable, too. It would be really hard to drive over them if they were made out of jello. :o)

    I get annoyed people do that. I am a Christian and I believe that God created everything, but that doesn't mean evolution doesn't exist at all.

    Hahahahahaha!

    Funny that you ask, FIFA. You know, your Answers Yahoo question really convinces me to not be a creationist. Because of you politely asking me, I am going to alter my ways, completely.

    I am a changed woman!

    Well if you know the truth that should be enough for you, and you shouldn't need to go out and talk about it. But I do have to add the falt earth is quite dumb

    You can't argue with someone based on their faith. Its an argument they are certain of, and certainty is an emotional response, not an intellectual one.
