What do people think of Creationism?

[darth_timon]

I by and large know the US and UK positions on creationism, but can't say the same of Australia. What do people think?

it's ******* stupid, and people that believe in it are ******* stupid.

Similar to someone with a 1300CC Datsun trying to bolt on a cannon exhaust pipe to make out he's got a "worked engine"

Only a ******* idiot you fall for that s**t.

Creationism is happening as we type. In fact it's all ready happened on Mars last year.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Quite possibly, has the largest following of dumbest beliefs. Especially considering we can basically prove evolution via intensive cross-breeding 'speeding up' natural selection to get bigger juicier apples and the like.

Also I can't find your article, the article just seems to be a sentence saying that there is an article.

Biblical accounts of DNA mutation caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms are clearly allegorical.

Creationism and thinking are inimical.

Yep. Far be it for me to find an agreeable Hawthorn supporter this week, but hey. When you're right you're right!

Didn't even know creationism was a thing until I after I finished high school.

Seems to be almost entirely an American Christian thing. And I went to a Christian school. Was never mentioned once.

Dr Who and Torchwood are more believable than creationism.

I respect most people's religious beliefs - good luck to them as long as they don't ram their beliefs down my throat.

But people who believe in Creationism are ****ing morons, who should be stripped of their right to vote. Even a house brick or Kate Ellis are smarter than them. They often line up with other ****ing idiots who are anti-abortion and homophobic.

Hope they all get Ebola.

So we're at ebola. Anyone going to try and beat that?

Clearly you support Hitler

On a par with most stuff written by the Brothers Grimm

It's mostly the US Evangelical Churches that still cling to the idea of Creationism (and that says it all really). Most Christians throughout the rest of the world accept that the creation history as described within Genesis should be viewed as an allegory.

Australia is one of the larger secular countries, however even the religious people here seem to disregard the idea of creationism. I have met only a few creationists and they seemed quite unstable. Although I'm not sure and I could be completely wrong I believe that our prime minister Tony Abbot, even though he is a seemingly hard line christian hasn't indicated that he believe in it (This is an unsubstantiated claim and I generally have no idea but he hasn't indicated that this is his belief).
