re: #4 Obdicut

How do you teach Creationism or Intelligent Design anyway? They’re non-logical, so I’d think it’d take like five minutes to say:

And some people believe that god created everything 6000 years ago, which is contradicted by all scientific evidence. Others believe every moment of creation has been ‘guided’ by god’s hand, which is contradicted by all scientific evidence. Still others believe that only some moments of creation have been so ‘guided’, but again, no scientific support for that.

What else is there to Creationism or ID? Are they supposed to teach all the fabricated nonsensical criticism of evolution that they bring? If they do, shouldn’t they teach that all these criticisms are weak, poor, dismiss able things— given that’s the truth?

If you can believe in G-d, why is it so hard to believe that G-d created it all? And don’t say “scientific evidence.” If this god is capable of putting any of this in motion, why limit him to following any laws or rules of science.

The holy texts, the Hebrew and Greek scriptures certainly portray a god who performs outright miracles, well beyond the boundaries of possible science, so, what is all this confusion about creationism.

If you can’t divorce yourself from a belief in G-d, then you should not limit that god, or limit the possibilities that are presented in the holy texts.

I don’t think creationism should be taught in schools, and if any of these politicians suggest that, then that should be considered, but if you are a believer, then what gives any believer the right to suggest that you shouldn’t believe in creationism, that there is something wrong with these politicians stating a belief in creationism.
