I think it’s time I took the chance to clarify my position on Creationism. I do oppose it, not out of blind hate.
My problem with it is twofold. Firstly, it fails to provide any evidence for it’s assertions, as a movement it wants the respectability of science, hance the term “Creation Science”, but doesn’t want to go through the method that brings that respect.
This leads to my second problem with it. The lengths that are gone to in order to distort science, befuddle the layman and raise a smokescreen. I have seen logical fallacies and distortions used quite blatantly in articles and essays by Creationists and have heard of intimidation against people who oppose them.
Just thought I’d get that off my chest!
