I’ll give Melanie the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. The terms ‘creationism’ and ‘intelligent design’ were very confusing to me at first. I did not realize that they were tied to young earthers and those who believe that all living things were created in their current form. Am a Christian, but definitely NOT a young earther - mostly because I’m not a Biblical literalist. Can’t be. Dad was a Biblical translator and told me things that would make many literalists cringe. Doesn’t change our basic faith in G-d. Just keeps things in perspective.
