Well, that's just a theory...My only goal is for creationists to finally learn what a "theory" means in science: Scientific theory - Wikipedia
But that didn't happen, did it?When I used to participate in the general C/E debate over a decade ago, a common refrain from the creationist/ID side was how evolutionary biology was doomed, more and more scientists were rejecting it, and that it would eventually be replaced by some sort of scientific creationism or ID.
Yes ... the tares are choking the wheat.pitabread said:None of this has obviously come to pass, with creationism/ID making zero dent against mainstream science. Not only that, but creationism has even been losing popular support insofar as USA polling goes.
Good!pitabread said:All I really see from creationists these days when it comes to prognostications is run-of-the-mill apocalyptic prophesy.
That's not our job: that's God's job.pitabread said:Have creationists given up on overturning the scientific establishment?
More or less.pitabread said:Is it now just a matter of sitting around, chanting about the evils of evolution and waiting for the world to end?
To fulfill as much of the Great Commission as we can, before the Great Commissioner comes back.pitabread said:What is the end goal for creationists these days?

Right, you guys know better than Jesus, is that it?I agree. I was subjected to YEC arguments 50 years ago when I was a teen. These same arguments and citations are STILL being thrown about by YECs today. Indeed, the next generation has just picked up the same old arguments.

This is not about you or your unsoliciated psych assessments which are really personal attacks.For many, the goal would appear to simply do anything they can and at all costs, to protect their personal beliefs.
For those who have a strong psychological need to believe something, you can see the evidence of how their defense mechanisms have developed to protect their beliefs; denial and misrepresentation of any evidence that threatens their beliefs, confirmation bias and all the symptoms displayed of cognitive dissonance, when they are faced with facts that threaten their beliefs.
To me, it is really quite fascinating to watch, from a psychological aspect.
Evolutionary theory.What specifically are you referring to?

That would be fine but cdesignproponentists want creationism taught outside of a theology class.Don't bother us.
That is it.
Are you asserting this to be true globally? If so would you provide some support for it.
i dont think so, as you can check in my signature link.
Evolutionary theory.
"Random" is an unknown or unpredictable influence.
More and more "random" factors are being explained all the time
as actually being influenced by previously unknown processes.
There is no "random" process in the world that is not under scrutiny.
Don't bother us.
That is it.
the problem that creationism carries is that future would-be scientists are set at a HUGE Disadvantage if they ever intend to turn to a career in science and research, a forefront industry that dictates the future economic success of a nation. Creationism and other anti-science efforts are an impediment to that future.
But again, what specifically are you referring to? Evolutionary theory and biology is extremely broad, so can you narrow it down a bit more?
Why is it a problem? Isn't that was real science should be about? It shouldn't be a monopoly on what it thinks is the truth. If there are different views out there, they should be represented and revealed.That would be fine but cdesignproponentists want creationism taught outside of a theology class.
This is the problem.
