Evolution believers:

Please show the scientifically valid explanation for the origination of the universe.
1. You do not get to presuppose the existence of another universe which exists only in your fantasies.
2. You can cite Quantum theory ONLY if you can validate a suspension of the effects of gravity and explain where the subatomic particles originated.

I'm sure you will ALL agree on this single scientifically proven process by which the universe began. After all, there could be no life without the building blocks of life, which had to come from minerals and chemicals in the environment.

That's like asking people who accept the Germ Theory of Disease to prove the origin of the Universe. We don't need to know the origin of the universe in order to understand how life evolved.

In the very end of all things, human philosophies and false sciences shall be revealed for the lies
that they are - for the Truth himself shall appear and return to judge both the living and the dead.
Yes folks, Jesus the Christ, the Creator of this wonderful living planet and the Universe shall
return and every eye shall behold him.

What will you do then? What will you believe then? Will Darwin save you?
The scriptures have already prophecied your calamity and responses...

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs,
when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks
of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Revelation 6:12-17

Who are you addressing? And what does this have to do with evolution? Do you really think God is going to be quizzing us on which scientific theories we rejected?

So you are opposed to intellectualism?
No. I was pointing out that creationism has no role in modern science. I'm not sure how that translates into opposition to intellectualism, or even what the latter is.

People living before the Theory of Evolution had been demonstrated true beyond all reasonable doubt had no reason not to believe that Genesis 1-10 could not simply be read as uncomplicated history. Somebody wanting to believe the same thing today, however, has to indulge in every type of obscurantism, fallacy, misrepresentation and mental gymnastics imaginable.

The Genesis account describes how the world was formed
including a Garden where God walked and talked with Adam.
The Gen account is about the creation of Paradise where God walked.
It's not about the realm where we currently live. Adam was
banished from Paradise.

It is normal for people to confuse the two. Some also complain
about our current realm, for the exact same reason.

Lack of intellectualism in Creationists was the post I was responding to.
Your complaint has no bearing on that.

One does not believe something for which one has evidence.

And actually God creating the first primordial life would preclude that issue.
