Are the poll results at the end of the article serious? Do that many American's seriously believe in Creationism or "Creation Science"? and is it true (as reported by the CBC) that 3 of the 10 Republican candidates are Creationists who reject Evolution? |
Creationism and evolution are not mutually exclusive to many people. I read a pretty good book one time about a merger of the two, including breaking down of evolution into macro and micro categories, I'll try and remember what it was. Unfortunately, those who don't believe in the exact version of evolution that the modern scientific community advocates are labeled idiots or zealots or ignorant. Is it pretty stupid to think the world is 3000 years old and that everything is the same now as it was in the beginning? Sure. Is it idiotic to question very shaky theories about the origin of Earth or species-level evolution, while retaining some belief in a religious version of creation? I certainly don't think so. I get really annoyed at people who scoff at Christians for questioning origin theories, especially when those scoffing couldn't explain anything about their beliefs.
