What makes a creationist a creationist?

I know about alle's, and genetic things because I had biology class in 10th grade im in 11th grade this year. I am sorry but I do not accept any kind of evolution, because GOD created every living creature "after his own kind" not evolution from another creature.

I do not care what man says about the genetics of animals or humans, GOD says each animal and creature that is created reproduces "after its own kind" not evolution over millions of years.

millions of years is wrong anyway. Here is one link,

I can't show it because I don't have 50 posts in my name yet

and tomorrow, i will post some other links for you to read that shows the earth is young and not old.

by accepting any kind of evolution to me is like putting your faith in what a "scientist" says because his work is based on assumptions, like the age of rocks, the scientist depends and puts his "faith" in the object that fallible man made in order to produce the correct answer. And accepting what he says, is like putting your faith into what he is saying is true.

I only believe the Word of GOD and the word of GOD alone. =] And were not arguing, It's all cool =]

I agree that there is only one truth in how the bible was constructed and how it should be read, yet I believe that no one has the one true way to interpret scripture except God.

We can also observe the laws of physics were the same when the supernovae exploded (hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago) as they are now, such as nuclear forces and the speed of light. .

That cant be, God is revealed to us through the scripture, and the truth will be revealed to those who seek it earnestly. That is scriptural, but unfortunately I am hopeless at remembering references

The speed of light is not a constant that is a fact because we know that Gravity speeds up or slows down time.

Only that we, in our limited minds, cannot hope to fully comprehend God.

If there is no constant to the speed of light than we have gotten very lucky in our miscalculations of atomic fission and fusion.

Hi WingsOfEagles07

"After his own kind" sounds kind of vague. The theory of evolution also holds that all species reproduce only their own kind, so the Bible and evolution agree on this point.

The only point of contention seems to be the millions (actually billions) of years required for creatures reproducing their own kind to change and diverge, because evolution is such a slow process.



The universe is at least millions of years old based on direct observations of supernova. We can measure how far away they are using trigonometry e.g. supernova 1987A is 160,000 light years away. We can also observe the laws of physics were the same when the supernovae exploded (hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago) as they are now, such as nuclear forces and the speed of light. Thus, we can prove, using direct observations, that the universe it at least millions of years old.

First off sorry for the delay.

Creationists usually differentiate between two types of evolution, micro and macro evolution. Macro evolution is what you are thinking of, and has two different meanings. The scientific meaning, which is essentially speciation(which we have observed), and the creationist meaning which is changes between kinds, which we have not observed yet according to creationists. The second kind is micro evolution, which is variation with in species, or kinds as creationists like to define it. Creationists, as a general rule, don't have a problem with micro evolution (variation with in kinds).

Well you should care, a lot of our food comes from the ability for life to adapt, genetic engineering in agriculture is fundamental to us not starving! I think micro evolution is very much embraced by creationists because it does account for what we see, and at the same time puts constraints on evolution so that no kind is able to reproduce anything other than its own kind. My goal is to get you to accept micro evolution! I am trying to be as objective as possible in this conversation, but definately talk about micro evolution to your fellow creationists, especially those that have been around the block.

I look forward to it. As someone else mentioned, the universe must be millions of years old because of the stars we see. About four months ago we just saw an object known as a quazar 13 billion light years away, that means that it took the light 13 billion years to reach us from its starting point. Unlike you I don't have a link, but look up parallax and Cepheid varriable stars and pay attention to how far away in light years, or parcects (about 3ly is one parcect) we can measure stars we see.

There aren't that many assumptions in science, the only two that I'm aware of is that the universe is real, and that the same laws that we observe here on Earth are the same everywhere in the universe. Other than that everything must be scruitinized to the highest degree, they don't believe in the age of rocks, or evolution, or atomic theory, but that is what all the evidence points too.

Belief implies accepting without evidence, or contrary to evidence. I believe in God because there is no positive scientificly empiricle evidence supporting God, or disproving God (that's not why I'm a believer but why I must say I believe instead of I accept God based on the evidence). You don't have to have faith in scientists to accept what they say as valid.

Evolution also stated that dinosaurs are billions of years old. Recently they found DNA in the dinosaur bones proving that this assumption was wrong,

Don't you mean some soft tissue in a T-Rex? Thats was a real big spanner in the works for the Millions of years arguments.

(well i suppose DNA may still have been in it, but thats not the part that i remember)

Actually, no that is not what I mean. I am talking of DNA from a bone extract of a dinosaur. DNA cannot last millions of years.

What is odd to me, is that evolution caused all organisms to have different types of eyes that have different capabilities and they all by chance occurred on the skull of every being.
