Answering reasonable Creationism
#2
RE: Answering reasonable Creationism
Excellent work tavarish! Clap

Feedback:

Duane seems to be making a great deal of the Mt St Helens eruption. Theres an article here debunking that particular bit of creationist bullshit.

An issue that you rightly raise is the sterility of creationism as a research programme, especially when compared to the enormous fertility of evolutionary theory. You might find it useful to look at the work of Imre Lakatos, one of the big cheeses of Philosophy of Science. Lakatos argues that it is the productivity of the research programme that a theory generates that is the hallmark of a good theory. Article by Lakatos here.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
