View Poll Results: Which do you think brings more joy to the world?
No they don't believe it do they? why should they? it's the biggest cock and bull story ever to be written, only a fool would even consider believing it.
I think its sad that Creationism and an insistence of personal inerrancy drives people like Godsmission so far from the Church.

And part of my worshipping that Man will include believing what He said He will do --- and what He did in the past.
To name a few: created the universe, sent a flood, walked on water, healed the sick and raised the dead.

That is your own personal interpretation of what He said. The majority of Christianity believes God used a somewhat more subtle mechanism then Creation Ex nihilo. Based on this thing called "Physical proof".

After reading through this thread and thinking a bit (Yes I know how dangerous that is when it comes to the internet) I decided that a belief in creationism brings far more joy into the world.
The OP did not say just who would gain the joy, and it is pretty obvious that there are many here who get great joy out of bashing and tormenting creationism and creationists.

Yes, a bit like shooting fish in a barrel, isn't it?

Please keep in mind: there is joy, then there is full-joy.
There is retard and there is full retard. Never go full retard.
Too late!
