There you go again dumping on a dead white European male. Again, you avoid answering my question as to why creationists are so arrogant as to believe their creation myth is the true one over all the others that mankind has produced.
“over all the others that mankind has produced.”
I’ll answer your question for myself, being a “creationist”.
Let God be true and every man a liar. Romans 3:4
Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
LRM, you do need to draw a distinction between Young Earth Creationists, who reject much modern science as the work of the devil, and Old Earth Creationists, who believe that God has revealed himself to us through the wonders of his creation as well as through his word.
There are plenty of us strong, conservative, believers in the God of the universe who do not reject good science. There is bad science, of course, like the "settled science" of global warming, but that does not mean that all science is wrong.
For what it's worth, I care very little about the creation story, except when it interferes with people coming to know God. I believe in God because I have seen him change my life and the lives of others. I have also witnessed his miracles and been the recipient of miracles many times.
Two years ago, my father was dying in the emergency room. His blood pressure was almost too low to measure and his heart rate was dropping. My wife and I arrived, I quickly anointed him, we laid hands on him and prayed, and within 20 seconds both his blood pressurements were up by 10 points. Within 10 minutes, his heart was functioning normally and dad was awake and talking.
Just one of many encounters with God that I could share with you.
