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

My point was to demonstrate that creationists are wrong because we are animals, according to the Bible.
Right. Thank you for that clarification. I'm glad I asked, as I read it quite differently.

Oh okay good,you don't believe in primordial soup.
1. There is no suggestion that the primordial soup was thick.
2. There is no suggestion that if that is where life evolved that it did so magically.

Cute responses from you tend to confirm that you have no reasoned argument on your side, so go right ahead.

I think that it is more reasonable to hypothesize that living matter arose from resonating frequencies in the air, rather than from any waves of a thin/thick liquid.

simple: show me how a creature evolve into another one and creation will be in problem.

I think you misunderstand the OP: I'm asking if and how creationists critically examine their ideas. Unless a creationist specifically accepts evolution, then this has nothing to do with evolution.

For example, if you believe that organisms were spontaneously created out of thin air, how would you critically examine that idea?

I think you are confusing the origin of life with the source of your own ideas. Do you have anything of substance to say?

as i said: prove me that a creature can evolve into another creature by a natural process and my argument will falsify.

Not likely, because you keep changing your demands as to what constitutes "another creature." Have you not already rejected observed instances of speciation because the new species was not "other " enough?

I'll take this to mean that you don't critically examine your ideas.
