But it says so in the Holy Scripture.
What are you, a heretic ?
Rofl troll!
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth - Gen 1:1
Why does that mean the earth is only 6000 years old?
The problem with creationism is that it turns the Bible, a theological document, into a scientific one.
So basically the problem is that a faith statement, ie. I believe God created the world, becomes a scientific statement and we all know that faith and science are separate studies for a reason.
The people who wrote and edited the bible were not scientists. They did not understand the universe as we do.
However, just because I think
creationism is stupid it doesn't mean that I think
creation itself is stupid.
The difference here is that it is entirely possible the world was created 3 seconds or 6000 years ago and simply seems older.
The same problem applies for
evolutionism/social darwinianism over
evolution.
Making evolution more than a theory, think dawkins/harris, and using it to 'prove' the non-existance of a metaphysical being is again mixing faith and science. Science can't measure what is not of the world and therefore cannot measure God.
Evolution, as a purely scientific theory is, however, fine.
I'm sorry to revisit this again but it just seems people don't understand the difference between these things.
Generally 'isms' are bad.
(now people will post good 'isms' to troll me, GO!)
Here's a good one to start you off: democratic socialism
