Recently, I have been asking myself: what is the point of Creationism?
Apart from being an obvious con that lets people like Ken Ham or Ray Comfort live on other people's ignorance, that is.
The thought of deluded people still believing that what was told by a tribe of goat herders 4000 years ago and trying to push this shit on their peers does really make me sad and makes me want to punch Ken Hams and Ray Comforts in the nuts.
Of course, it's quite likely they might actually be greedy, deep-undercover atheist conmen.
But what if the reason why they try to push creationism and ignorance was that they are "atheists gone wrong"? By that, I mean they were originally brought up in a strict religious environment but eventually grew out of their beliefs; still, they didn't find a positive outcome for their atheism and started to advocate their old beliefs in order to keep themselves sane and to prevent other people in their cult from following their steps. Essentially, I'm saying that they are people who tried to think with their own heads, but who failed to face the consequences.
I know this might sound a lot like a conspiracy theory but I believe that something interesting could spark from this... What do you guys think? :-)

Ill tell you. Its not something that says that everything came from nothing and that the universe just popped into existence from nothing, a scientific impossiblity. Or that the universe is eternal, also something that is scientifically impossible.
