If you want to read the VOLUMES of responses on this topic, type “ID” or “intelligent design” or “evolution” into the search feature.

You’ll be reading for DAYS.
 
Simple…ignorance. Failure to provide basic education about what science is, and is not.

Result? People believe that science and technology are magic. They don’t call it “magic,” of course – but they approach it as if it were magic. They don’t understand it, don’t want to understand it, don’t believe that they can understand it.

When science produces a result people don’t like, they reject it – it’s not just magic, it’s black magic. Again, they don’t call it that – but watch their reactions.
 
I believe in “Creationism” and “Evolution”. I believe God used Evolution inside the natural laws that He created to bring about life. I don’t believe everything the scientists say about evolution, though.
 
Gallup polls going back to 1982 have never showed a figure lower than 44% of Americans agreeing to the statement that “God created humans pretty much in their present form either exactly as the Bible describes it or within the last 10,000 years.” Thus about half of Americans believe that humans evolved (some say, though, that God may have helped in the process, which AiG totally rejects).

A Zogby poll released a few weeks ago, with a different, but related question, showed that 69% of Americans support the presentation of intelligent design as a part of a high school’s curriculum, with 21 percent believing only Darwin’s theory of evolution should taught, as reported by UPI.

Over the decades, evolutionary activists have been alarmed that these numbers in support of creation/ID have not been declining (even with more intensive evolutionary indoctrination through the schools and media). The grassroots approach of creationist organizations to distribute materials throughout the country (especially via teaching conferences) is appearing to be an effective counter to what evolutionists are doing.

Therefore, expect more science museums to follow the pattern of the Field, whose president recently declared that museums need to be the leaders in defense of evolution because “we don’t have the same kind of intimidation that schools have.” (John McCarter, quoted by the Chicago Sun-Times, March 8, 2006).

You’re right, macro-evolution ought to be exposed for how unscientific is really is. It’s on the same playing field as creationism.

Creationists base their worldview on the Bible. While Evolutionists base their worldview on materialism.

Same facts, different interpretations.

Macro-Evolution, like creationism, is not real science.

It is good that people have always been aware of, and that more are starting to wake up to the fact that, the theory of macro-evolution is simply un-proven speculation with no firm basis.

The Bible can stand up to scrutiny, and science is perfectly harmonious with it.

One thing to consider is that evolution undermines the doctrine of original sin and Christ’s salvation. If death and sufferring were a method for God’s creating and part of creation, then what’s the point in sending Christ to die to save us from something God Himself instituted. God is not the author of death, death and a fallen sufferring world are a result of man’s original sin, as stated in Genesis.

Your belief in ‘creation’ and ‘evolution’ is what they refer to as ‘theistic evolution.’ A compromise between Christianity and Materialist philosophy.
 
Note that Intelligent Design is NOT creationism.

Intelligent design uses science and probability to lead one to the conclusion that the universe and its contents were designed by an Intelligence.

Creationism is a literalist interpretation of Genesis.

They do not contradict each other, nor do they support each other.

Also Intelligent Design does not contradict guided evolution but does contradict spontaneous (or random) evolution.

I wouldn’t say ‘literalist’ as that word seems to give a wrong impression. It’s rather, more a correct reading of Genesis as the book’s genre is intended. There are many genres of books in the Bible. The Torah, the first 5 books, were intended by the original author as literal history. This can be seen by examining the Hebrew language.

As defined in most circles, literalist fits better that literal, as it teaches a 6000 years span since the beginning of creation.
