[QUOTE="keith99, post: 65281715, member: 211648"] I'm perfectly happy with Biblical creationism being taught in science classes and treated as a hypothesis. As long as someone like me was the teacher. Of course I'd want police protection if I taught in the South. The start is asking the question: How can we test this hypothesis. Now when it comes to YEC creationism that comes down to either it is falsified as we can test and see the Earth is far older or God made it all look much older. For the crowd that only say God did it and nothing more I'd ask the question 'And how can we test that?' Of course we can't. BUT for them the next bit isn't really bad at all. It is deciding WHY or WHO/What created everything is not the purview of science, the mechanics of just what happened is. Science says nothing on the subject of God being behind it all, science cannot comment on that. Then comes the fun, kicking them when they are down. The question what deductions can we make about a God that creates the Earth to look Billions of years old a few thousand years ago and then expects his followers to deny the evidence he has put there. Pretty nasty God as I see it. IF God did that. While I don't believe I also think the problem is misinterpretation and misuse of Scripture, not what God (if there is a God) did. [/QUOTE]
