Even then, after reaching such a lofty height, it will continue to be tested against new observations and new advances in investigative methods. As it passes each test, confidence in the truth of the theory increases; even more so when it corresponds with other theories in different but related fields.
What in creationism comes anywhere close to that?
I do not believe creationism has to follow the same rules HUMANS have put forth in proving theories and other hypotheses (sp?). I believe it is above our minds and our reasoning.
But think about it - creationism (and Christianity) can account for so many things: how the universe came into being, how we came into being, how everything around us has come into being in such a beautiful way (many scientific theories try to convince that these things just happened to align this way?)
Granted, I have a limited understanding of evolution, but creationism seems to make much more sense to me. But again, I believe creationism is above us. I'm even uncomfortable giving it a term.
Then we need to think about creationism...and then you confess you know nothing of evolution. But that doesn't matter, because creationism is so above us, it makes you uncomfortable.
Well then, why the fuck are we even communicating here?
