CREATIONISM - We prefer the term "creation science." But opponents are
in the majority, ...so their term is: "creationism."
Scientists who focus on details all day long may inadvertently miss
the big picture of this incredibly complex creation around us. Flowers,
stars, the wind, snow, nettles, ice cream, acid, love, bears, and granite.
All that is in this giant universe just kind of "exploded" into existence
and complexity all by itself? There is no Creator behind it all?
How many dimensions are there? Humans have five senses and we're
relegated to a small bluish planet on the side of a particular galaxy.
Does it make sense to you that we can somehow come to grips with "all that
is"? Remember that we've only known about the existence of radio
waves for the past 100 years. Modern humans are hot stuff, huh?
Have you ever walked into a room and fell a "chill" or that something was
wrong? Have you ever sensed that you were being watched? ...How many
dimensions are there? Could there be dimensions (or realms) outside of
our inherently limited natural senses? There are some "prove it to
me" folks in every generation. Atheism goes back at least 3,000 years.
We only have 5 senses, which is enough to sense some of what's out there.
But when people think that their understanding is at the "center of the
universe" I must refrain from joining such nonsense. Pride goes before
a fall. ...The pre-Galilean-evolutionists ... thinking that
everything revolves around their understanding - or else it doesn't exist....
Does "God(s)" have to answer to us and our understanding?
(Does He/She/It/They ... have to answer at all, in fact.) Think about
it. Or is it more logical to proceed with the perspective that it
is we humans who have to seek out and answer to Him?! Human senses
(upon which all of science is necessarily dependant - all the "testable-repeatable"
categorizations, etc.) only perceive data from some of the dimensions around
us. We are largely unaware of the others.
A high schooler may learn how to take apart and repair automobiles.
He or she might get really good at it. But understanding how something
works and why is still a far cry from then deciding that if no engineer
steps forward - maybe the car just fell together all by itself. I
don't have enough faith (nor misplaced pride) to believe such a theory.
....Human DNA has some 3.5 billion base pairs in careful, detailed sequential
arrangement. Where's the big factory to make more humans? ...
Oh wait, it's built in. Also partial repair processes are built-in.
You start exercising certain muscles - they respond and automatically grow
bigger for the next day. We can (collectively) hold our breath and
stomp our feet but the notion that "God has to answer to us" (among other
evolutionary assumptions) is really backwards IMHO. Creationists
contend that it is actually we who are standing on the side of science,
against religious beliefs that would hold us back. We recognize
firstly that there *must* have been a Creator. Just as any car must
have had a designer even more so life on Earth shows evidence of incredible
built-in design.
Maybe scientists, though smart in some ways, could be generally weak
in other areas, like spiritual perception. Have you ever thought of this?
(Possibly somewhat like a "nerd" who's brilliant with computers, but who
has trouble dealing with humans.) Mired in details and complex formulas,
but possibly missing the big picture. You wouldn't want a brilliant
lawyer to perform open heart surgery on you (even though he or she is smart),
or for a jet mechanic to do your taxes, right? So don't trust scientists
when it comes to what are really ancient history and spiritual matters
- our origins and the purpose of life. How we first got here and precisely
when it started is inherently outside of modern testable-repeatable science.

Let’s consider nine distinct areas where creation does indeed matter ... No topic is adequately
taught without explaining its beginnings or roots. And when one looks at the foundation of science,
a creation heritage appears throughout. It was the creation worldview, especially in the 1600s,
which led to the realization that nature was designed, dependable, and decipherable. Science
pioneers, both men and women, were nearly all strong creationists ... great competition today for
research funds with the majority of proposals being turned down ... Both Francis Schaeffer and
Ken Ham have pointed out the importance of creation in evangelism ... Social Darwinism seeks to
reform society in some very disturbing directions ... rape becomes expected practice since the
male is programmed to pass his genes on in any way possible ... weaknesses of embryology,
horse evolution, the peppered moth story ... big bang and stellar evolution ... science classrooms
and texts ... vestigial organs ... space probes costing more than $10 billion have searched for
Martian life with zero results thus far ... dinosaur “tail drags” are seldom found

the notion that the earth is less than 10,000 years old, that creation as depicted in Genesis is a
historical fact, and that this creation was of divine origin ... students are encouraged to ask how
evolution occurred, but not whether evolution occurred ... According to evolution, all living things
originated from a single living thing, which in turn originated from inanimate matter ... that problem
is with falsifiability ... positing an unobserved, made-up “Oort cloud” that continuously replenishes

origins is the complex study of how matter, life, and the universe came into being. It is not a pure
science like chemistry or biology because one cannot repeat origins or test it by controlled experiments ... one cannot observe ... Scientists who pursue origins studies, however, attempt to show how their
own views about origins fit with what is known from the various fields of empirical science ... In contrast
to microevolutionism, macroevolutionism is a more comprehensive belief system involving several components ... Atheistic ... philosophical, psychological, and even theological presuppositions

creationists frequently have been criticized for merely being antievolutionary without offering viable
alternatives, and frequently this is true. But in the past two decades there has been a genuine
movement toward establishment of well-founded creationist models based upon empirical
research and inductive science. For example, in 1994 and in 1998 the themes for the Pittsburgh
International Conference on Creationism has been “Establishing a Creation Model of Origins.” ...
At the 1990 Pittsburgh International Conference on Creationism, Walter J. ReMine introduced
“Discontinuity Systematics” (5,1), and Kurt P. Wise “Baraminology” ... abrupt-appearance ...
