I'd be confused, because I went to a Catholic elementary school, and we were taught about evolution in science, and creationism from religion class, and there was never a conflict. The issue with "creationists" is that they can't read. =D In Genesis, it says that God created man, etc. It never states in the Adam and Eve story that they were the FIRST people on earth. On the 6th day God created man, 7th he rested. The story of Adam and eve comes later after this information. It is known through most educated Christian circles that there was a whole world of creatures and people before Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were kind of Go'd lab experiment to see what would happen. My point is - an educated Christian believes in evolution as well, and it doesn't interfere with their faith. The two co-exist very well. Notice that most of the crazy bible thumpers come from areas with subpar or downright poor educational quality. So really, if evolution is your reasoning for Atheism, it doesn't make any sense to me. Of course if Pokemon was accurate anyhow, the time it would take one of the creatures to evolve, Ash would have been nothing more than bones in a grave by the time it evolved. =D |
It's not that "creationists" can't read, but more that those who argue the position aren't familiar with the points.
The main points are that the 7 days of creation are litteral days "yom", and that death only entered the world upon the original sin. Before that there was no death. One is syntactical, the other doctrinal.
