I'm really thinking hard science. I understand there is a lot of speculation and opinion. But hard science is repeatable and published with peer review.

you can be a creationist and not be christian. there's also muslims, jews, ancient alien theorists and hindus, as well. have you ever read the mahabharata? even the ancient egyptians believed in creation.

But the thread was specifically about creationist views interpreted from the Bible. I'm aware of what the general definition of creationism is.

The less young earth creationists on ATS the better. With every "bait" thread we make, if done correctly to which I will leave that open to interpretation, we have the ability to educate when that evidence is hard to dismiss. The very reason I or some come here. And I am not known for being politically correct, hand holding or to sprinkle sugar all over my thoughts.
With that said, I respect your opinion. They are always respectable.

This was the first thing I did before I began typing the thread. Sorry, I was given the wrong impression...
For the most part I say live and let live, but they are in political positions what's more concerning to me has been the school board positions trying to and sometimes successfully influencing the curriculum being taught across the country wit YEC in mind.
I call it “Republicanity” and I consider it a cult. It’s a perversion of Christianity mixed with a political set of man-made beliefs. These people view their devotion to the GOP on the same level they do their belief in God. To them, the Republican party is the party of “real Christians.” They don’t need facts or reality to support their political beliefs, they have “faith.”

That is why I think people are wasting their time in debating HOW things happen when the real question to ask is WHY.

Also from Gallup...
The Church has no defined Dogma regarding the specifics of how the earth and the human body were created. Nor does it think that we have to nail that down to be saved.
