I don’t know if you picked up on it from my last post, but I
happen to be a Young Earth Creationist. I have seen clear scientific
explanations given for it. I had a class in college called Scientific Models of
Origins, and it was all about the science of the Creationist world-view. It was
rational, cogent, and looked at the same data Evolutionists look at and came to
a different conclusion (which is perfectly acceptable in the scientific
community). Finally, it agrees with Scripture.
Unfortunately, we are still surrounded by Creationists
giving horrible arguments against Evolution, or just as frequently
Evolutionists pointing to horrible arguments made by Creationists in the past.
For example, I recently heard the argument against Evolution about, “If we evolved
from chimps, why are there still chimps?” Horrible argument. Horrible premise.
Completely ignores natural selection (which I happen to agree is happening).
Of course, in that same vein of research, I heard an
Evolutionist say, “It looks like design, but it isn’t.” How does that make any
sense? It looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, but it
isn’t really a duck. If it appears to be something, and you disagree with what
that something shows, doesn’t mean you can just write it off as false.
