I think there has been a misunderstanding in here that is pervasive. This is strictly about evolution vs creationism. Not creationism vs science. Evolution - abundance of evidence. Creationism - Zilch. And it is in this respect that I speak ill of the proposition. |
Alright, let me rephrase, in order to further this dicussion instead of spinning wheels.
You speak of creationism and the theory of evolution as if they are these ironclad rulesets that are set in stone. Neither of them are, though. Evolution is still a working theory, and yes it may be the closest thing we have to a full answer, but still yet it is far from a full answer. Creationism does not mean that you do not believe in evolution. One belief or ideal, whatever you want to call it, does not cancel out the other. You can be a "Creationist" so to speak and believe that God (whatever God is or isn't) is responsible for causing evolution to exist in the first place. Just as easily as you could say that you believe soundly in the theory of evolution, and that there isn't such thing as God or any higher power, and that things in the universe simply occured and continue to occur according to nothing more than random events and collisions.
These ideas, I argue, are by no means incompatible with one another. Further, most major world religions say nothing to discourage scientific discovery or lay disdain for the idea of evolution. Quite the contrary.

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
