Scientific creationism

chapter, Is Creationism Scientific, in the book Philosophy Gym by Stephen Law, Law discusses creationism and presents evidence that tries to answer the question, is creationism scientific? Creationism is the belief that God created the universe and all of living beings in it in just six days, and that it happened only 10,000 years ago. There is much evidence that disproves the creationism belief, but does that mean that the creationism belief isn’t scientific? I believe that creationism is not scientific

Commonly, religious discussion turns to the subject of origins. There are two reasons for this: firstly, there are those with a literal or semi-literal interpretation of the Bible (or other relevant holy book) who remain convinced that the world was created in the recent past looking more or less as it does today. Obviously, this issue must be resolved before the existence or nature of the deity can even begin to be discussed! Secondly, even those with the more common, nonliteral interpretation of

Throughout history, there has never been a more debatable question than that of evolution versus creationism. Human evolution always tends to cause a heated dispute in modern society. “These conflicts between Evolution and Creationism occur when evolutionists argue that creationism is not a scientific theory because it cannot be tested by the scientific method (Sarfati Ph.D., n.d.).” Science requires a hypothesis or theory be testable and reinforced by physical evidence, but religion requires

The Absurdity of Scientific Creationism We humans have always thought of ourselves as being unique, whether by divine sanction or by a self-established belief in superiority. For some, this understanding is intimately tied to the traditional tenets that have long been held as fact, having only recently been challenged. For modern Christians, the literal interpretation of the Bible=s account of creation has come under attack by the development and widespread acceptance of Darwinian evolution

A Scientific Look on Creationism Evolution, in its most basic form, is the theory that every plant and animal evolved from to their current diversity and form over billions of years. It was popularized by Charles Darwin in 1858 when he wrote a detailed explanation of Evolution in, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection ("Charles Darwin." April 6th). Since his book thousands of scientists have gone to work trying to prove his theory correct, and so it seems, they have succeeded. It

Not Very Creative: On Not Teaching Creationism in Schools Everybody should have a right to believe in whatever religious or spiritual system they want. Living in America, people are legally guaranteed that freedom, as well as protection from being persecuted for their beliefs. Recently there’s been a lot of talk in the media about religious freedom, as a result of the gay marriage controversies. Many people have cited gay marriage as an attack on their religious freedom. However, an excellent Huffington

Creationism Isn't Science but Belongs in Schools The origin of life has been a point of discussion for as long as history has been documented. Ancient Egyptians believed that the sun god Ra took another form, created land from a watery abyss and created everything, including gods and humans. The Iroquois, a tribe of Native Americans, told a story of god to human lineage that resulted in twins, one being evil and one being good. The good twin creates a picture perfect

Should Creationism Be Taught In School? In the status quo, the theory of evolution is inside the school curriculum. However, a fellow contrary, the creationism theory is not in it because it is not justified as a proper education material as many people claim that there is no prove and science behind it. According to Than (2015), there are two main points of the evolution theory, all life on Earth is connected and related to each other, and this diversity of life is a product of modifications of

public schools should teach creationism in the classrooms. Creationism is the belief that the universe was created by specific acts of divine creation and is more known as Genesis to the Abrahamic religions. In my opinion creationism is a subject that should be taught alongside of science because it can develop critical thinking skills for the students, it will satisfy the demand of the people, and will fulfill our freedom of speech. Many educators will disagree that creationism should be taught in public

Creationism and the Classroom      The American classroom is suffering from a major deficiency. The science curriculum supports one theory of evolution and no other theory as to how the existence of the universe has come to be. This narrow-minded approach has kept many young minds from seeing a very broad picture of this world.      Scientific creationism should be included in our public school curriculum because it is paramount to the progress of
