Do creationists critically examine their own ideas (re: creationism)?

[dad]

I meant how the fossil records were made.

Right. They were made by created living creatures dying. Probably most animals and man could not leave fossil remains. We went back to dust too fast in those former years. So we cannot look at the dead creatures that could leave such remains as any record of life in General on earth.

If a person interprets what is reality without God they are not interested in truth.

Science cannot prove God does or does not exist. History shows us that Scripture is well supported. So the proof we have is outside your religion.

I meant how fossils proving the theory of evolution were made. It shows creatures from simple to complex, from ancient to today. Nothing the YEC can deal with.

There are no fossils proving life came from what the theory claims it came from. There are fossils of creatures that died, and that you think evolved from each other. Maybe in some cases that could be the case, as rapid evolution was the norm of the day. But all evolving started with the created kinds. Science cannot tell what came from what just looking at fossils. They simply group them as if one came from another.

Per the title.

And if the answer is yes, how do creationists critically examine their own ideas?

Im not scientific but cant imagine the universe and everything in it without a creator. Thats what i see when i critically examine life.

This is known as an argument from incredulity.

Okay. How do you critically examine creation?

Okay. How do you critically examine creation?

I see the many wonders of creation and i know God is real. Who else could do such a thing? Being scientific doesnt mean you must be atheist.

Your argument is considered an argument from incredulity: Divine fallacy - Wikipedia

Your argument is also a tautology: Wonders of creation prove god is real. I know god is real because of wonderful creation.

Its not a fallacy its a belief.

That sounds like an emotional response, as opposed to critical examination.

Does critical thinking refuse to acknowledges that Gods existence is possible?

 

[dad]

This is known as an argument from incredulity.

Actually anything you say against it is an argument from incredulity.

Does critical thinking refuse to acknowledges that Gods existence is possible?

Critical thinking involves examining an idea dispassionately. Take emotion out of the equation and what happens to your idea?

I made an observation, developed an opinion. Im not sure what emotion has to do with that. Again i ask Does critical thinking refuse to acknowledges that Gods existence is possible?
