Seems to be making a comeback recently, anyone here believe in creationism? There was just a thread in the naruto forum that got deleted so I want to see what people here in the discussion forum think.
Well let me warn you. Many people are just so close minded here, or immature or both, that you cannot have a decent discussion about topics like these. So this thread could get out of hand.
I really am against bringing relion to this forum, and yes I am religious, but believing the earth was created in 6 24hr days is illogical
Who says that you need to be religious to believe in creationalism? You could simply believe that the universe or world was created by a higher form of life, or a being that ascended to another dimmension. Etc.
If you are religious, then believing the world was created in 6 24 hour days, is not illogical.
Now to address my thoughts.
I firmly believe in intelligent design. I believe God created the universe.
I am not sure however about whether I believe evolution is part of intelligent design. Or that the world was created in 6 days.
I believe Micro evolution(ie animals changing minor characteristics to adapt to the environment(such as a species of animal growing a thick coat of fur in a cold environment). But it remains the same species.
I find there are a lot of holes in the theory of macro evolution. That is to say a fish can evolve into a mammal over time, or that a animal can suddenly develop a new organ that benefits them through mutations. I am opposed to this because so far we have not found any evidence of a halfway developed organ. And so far there have not ever been useful organs that have occured through mutation(as in a primitive dolphin species suddenly has a organ for echolocation through a mutation). So far in humans alone, there are just so few people who have any kind of useful mutations. Most are mutations that actually cause harmful effects.
As for the universe being created in 6 days, I do not have a answer. Perhaps it was 6 days, perhaps the "days" are actually millions of years.
The scientific reasons why I believe in creationalism, is because there are just how complex everything is. How orderly this universe is.
I look at biology and chemistry, and just see how complex everything is and how it works together.
I would venture to guess that if you were to make a statistic probability of all this happening, it would be comparable to the earth naturally causing metals and things to all work together to create a computer, and for the electrons to assemble themselves to form a operating system. Or someone winning the lottery consecutively for 50 years in a row.
In closeing, I just want to say this. Whether you think I am just spouting BS or not, you are lying to yourself if you think humanity has even come close to understanding everything about the universe, biology, physics, climate etc.
