End of the day, this theory is not absolute, and would get replaced when sufficient understand causes it too.


    Creationism on the otherhand, is an absolute belief which is not wrong or cannot be wrong, that invisible being or beings created everything from nothingness simply into existence at the mere existence of their thought. It is not based on evidence, facts or a colloboration of various things. It is infact, believed solely on a text which originated from a text where there were 7 different versions of creation, with this one being taken as the 'right and absolute one', because they believe everything written by man about this said invisible being.
    Creationism, I think, is the work of unimaginative religionists. It is dogmatic thinking, that does nothing to further either scienctific or theological debate alike.

    For sheer annoying power, little beats the Sunday school trained pseudo-biologist with an internet site and exited presentations of how the eye couldn't have evolved, how the Flood explains geological events, and how Noah could've stored all those dinosaurs in his ark by not taking massive adults aboard but just the eggs.

    Only to then insist this must be taught at schools. (Few ever want the 'controversy' over astrology to be taught in science class).

    ^ I feel like I don't even need to contribute after Louis's Posts.

    At the end of the day, it's essentially two separate entities intruding on one another's respective territory. If Creationists could keep their argument in the land of religion, and evolutionists keep their argument in the land of Science, I hardly see what difference it could make.

    It plays perfectly into this territory. The nations of Science and Religion are at war over the minds (+souls) of people, for their valuable resources and to institute control.
