The modern equivalent of a geocentric universe. Science proves irrefutably that causal, linear events led up to the ecosystem we see today. Since this idea just so happens to go against Christian doctrine, it is condemned by many Christians, who put forth a pseudoscience known as creationism, or intelligent design, in response.
Creationism is non-scientific, as there is no way to test it using empirical data. Many creationists see perceived flaws in evolutionary theory as proof that creationism is true and provable. This is not true because 1.The so-called flaws are rooted in the misunderstanding or ignoring of the mechanics of evolution. Arguments such as "irreducible complexity" illustrate that creationists do not understand the process of evolution. Evolution is yet to be discredited in the scientific community, where it is accepted universally. 2.Disproving one theory does not make another theory any more credible. Even though theory A may have been disproved, theory B still must make its case based on sound scientific data. Creationists also believe that the world is in the order of 6,000 years old, which can easily be disproved with radiometric dating. Creationists say that this technology is inaccurate, but have no proof of this whatsoever. Creationists also use the argument "Evolution is just a theory." All that this argument does is show that they don't understand what a scientific theory is. Debunking creationism (by virtue of exposing the fallacy of the "young Earth" theory) is very easy. Any high school student has the capability to do so. Scientists do not waste their time even addressing it at this point, as there has never been so much as a single piece of evidence in support of it. Those who claim to be creation scientists are not scientists at all, as they cannot apply the scientific method to their theories. Jill: The theory of evolution is just that -- a theory. It's yet to be proven in any way.
James: Gravity is just a theory, too. You should really read a book sometime. Besides the bible. Hugh: God created the Earth 6,000 years ago with the entire ecosystem completely intact as we see it today. Al: Um, dinosaur? Hugh: Put there by the devil to deceive us. Jenny: If evolution is true, how come we've stopped evolving? Sally: Evolution takes place over long periods of time. You can't see it in your lifetime. We are still evolving. Jenny: That's just stupid. You'll believe anything they tell you. Will: Evolution is proven to be false by the gaps in the fossil record. In fact, the fossil record does more to disprove evolution than anything else. This proves creationism to be true. Ben: Where did you hear that? We know that the ancestors of all sea mammals are land mammals. We can see where homo sapien and neanderthal split off on two separate paths. You're just parroting what some wacky creationist said on TV, aren't you? Will: At least I'll spend the rest of forever in eternal bliss. You're going to hell. What good will your evolution do you then? Ben: :P Billy: So, now that I have proven that your crackpot evolution theory is wrong, you must accept my theory as true. My theory is that a giant potato-beast named pot-thak-to dreamed the universe one night 50 years ago and it came to be. Alice: Good point. Which way to his temple? |

The idea that two centuries of consistent scientific data by thousands of logical minds is wrong and that Earth and life were not created by a causal chain of events but by an infinitely knowing, loving and powerful--yet seemingly indecisive and possibly bipolar--deity in less than a week. Its strongest argument is its compelling assertion that if you don't believe in it, you'll go to Hell with everyone Jerry Falwell finds personally distasteful and you'll all roast for eternity while demons gangrape you with white-hot tridents. Jack Chick said science is just as evil as Catholics and Jews, and that's why I believe in creationism.

The result of Christians' insane refusal to accept that their religious doctrines are wrong. Creationism can only be believed by people with absolutely no understanding of science or history.

The belief that ALL lifeforms on earth magically appeared in, literally, a couple of days. Did you see the movie creationism? It has the wildest FX but, geez! Totally unrealistic story! A waste of money if you ask me!

The belief that you know more about science than an actual scientist. I think creationism is a fact and evolution is JUST A THEORY. Kind of like how the Sears tower is JUST a little bigger than a phone booth.

Denial, foolishness, brainwashing, etc. Creationism Dialogue
Creationist A: Evolution is only a theory! Creationist B: Yay! Let's go kill some heretics! Pat Robertson: Assassination is fun! George W Bush: Can I say 'Crusade' again? Creationism |

The idea that God created everything and we were never apes clonking each other with clubs and fossils are the result of the deadly "flood" known from the story of "Noah's Ark".
It's basically all B.S. Pastor: "God created everything, face it, he is the most powerful creature on Earth. Creationism is fact."
Scientist: "Have you proof of such happenings? Have you found God?" Pastor: "The Bible is enough proof." Scientist: "Anyone can write facts down and have people believe in them. Just look at how Santa came to be." Pastor: "You have a point. I have wasted countless years believing the ridiculous. I see the light now." |
