“Creationism is NOT a threat to science”

Of course not. Superstition is the threat that wants to substitute supernatural explanations for phenomena and creationism is... wait a minute. Actually, it is a threat. Throwing up your hands at puzzles and saying, “God did it so let God do it,” isn’t how transistors or pickle slicers come to be.

Suggest that you look up the definition of superstition. You may consider Creationism to be pseudoscience, but it isn’t superstition.

OK...so where did all matter come from? Don't have an answer? That's right, that it's always been is simply part of the "throwing up your hands at puzzles " explanation of macro-evolutionists. It's all part of the macro-evolution faith.

More on your comment:

Have you actually 'seen' what Creationist views are? Your comment hints that you have not.

Creationism doesn't 'throw up hands at puzzles.' Using your analogy, those puzzle pieces are fit together in a separate way from the Macroevolutionist view. More clearly, both Creationists and Macroevolutionists have the evidence (your puzzle pieces), but disagree on the implication of those pieces--i.e. fossils, stars and galaxies millions of lightyears away, the distance to the edges of the universe seemingly almost the same in length.

Again, as for the threat Creationism supposedly poses to science, the only pseudoscience it poses a threat to is Macroevolution, which already is reliant on getting people suckered in when they're young so that they don't bring up some difficult questions when they grow up.

Also, it is a threat to science when those with a particular belief dogmatically and zealously (you could type religiously attack opposition to their viewpoint when the opposing model can stand on its own two feet.

Again, it seems as though you aren't familiar with what Creationism actually espouses. And suggest that you go look up some stuff about Creationism--from a Creationist source--before posting comments about Creationism which don't actually reflect the Creationist standpoint. There are many sources on the internet; you can just Google (or use another search engine--for its leftist leanings, Google is a very useful search engine) Creationism, and you should get some hits.
