The history of the Creationist movement is that it was formed in opposition to a scientific theory. Thus in origins and intent, Creationism is anti science.

As time has gone by, Creationists have also opposed other scientific theories that they objected to, which include but are in no way limited to......

Heliocentricism
Plate Tech-tonics
Atomic half life decay
The speed of light
Geology
Paleontology
Archeology

etc, etc, etc.

Creationists MO, as evidenced by what gets posted on FR is to not do any actual scientific research themselves (Heaven Forfend!), but to snipe at real scientists doing real science and explain how it all supposedly supports the recent simultaneous creation of all species in their present form.

Funny, many of those you condemn as *Creationists* are scientists compared to the number of evos who do this as a hobby.

It’s deceptive to hold up the pretense that every evo is a scientist and knows what science is all about and every creationist, isn’t and couldn’t do *real* science to save their lives.

The ToE is nothing more that a litmus test for the evo crowd to use in determining who to discredit and who not to.

While correct in what you say, you have to give credit to GGG for posting these topics to allow for the free exchange of ideas. Blithe sniping and flaming are never a good thing from either side - I’ve been on the receiving end (even had my professional ethics questioned - funny). As triple-G will likely agree, I am the first to criticize bad science on either side. Unfortunately, most ID and CS articles are criticism and not science so they leave little room for any constructive dissection.

Wow, that is so absurd I would almost think you were joking. If you are a Neo-Darwinist, then you don't know anything about the origin of life so why would you even mention the word?
