Creationist and Evolutionist
I'm neither. Each is irrationally dogmatic and each denies the truths found in the other.
Creationists denies facts that don't square with their predetermined beliefs and so do Evolutionists and other -ists for whom Science has become their religion and not just a methodical process for testing and proving ideas.
- I do not believe the world is flat.
- I do not believe the sun revolves around the Earth every 24 hours.
- I do not believe the stars are windows in the firmament (solid sky) above the Earth.
- I do not believe in sea monsters.
- I do not believe that men cannot fly.
- I do not believe that God created the moon to be a perfect and unblemished sphere.
- I do not believe that the moon is itself a source of light.
- I do not believe that there are only four elements being earth, wind, fire, and water and that everything else is composed of these four elements.
- I do not believe that illness is a punishment from God for our sins.
- I do not believe that illnesses can be treated by bleeding someone to remove their ill humors.
- I do not believe that medicine is an expression of witchcraft that defies the Will of God.
- I do not believe that the known world is confined only the to understanding of peoples living in the Mediterranean prior to 1492 and I do not believe it is a heresy to acknowledge that the Pope was never informed of the existence of the Americas prior to 1492.
- I do not believe it is an affront to God to set foot on the moon.
- I do not believe that the brain is just an organ that makes snot.
- I do not believe that blood does not circulate in the body.
There are some people who would argue that I cannot be a Christian for holding to a rational understanding of the world around us. That's fine. They can believe what they want.
For myself I can look at something like the known and accepted facts about the Aborigines and how the preponderance of observable, historical, anthropological, archaeological, cultural, linguistic, and genetic facts combine to show a human population that has been isolated from the rest of humanity for a very long time.
Further, the recent theory about the universe not starting with a Big Bang but instead being eternal squares with Biblical expressions about God being eternal. My saying this likely irks both devout Creationists and devout Evolutionists.
That's fine. If you wish to believe the universe is 6500 years old then fine by me.
