It's funny how about twenty years ago creationism was a big deal on the internet, but now the creationists are still doing their thing but the internet doesn't care anymore.
Creationists handily lost that argument, because it's so obviously wrong and deeply unpopular. They've since moved on to issues they think are more exploitable, eg dehumanizing trans folk
Nah, it's just not extreme enough and actually not that unpopular.
A frighteningly large percentage of the US population doesn't "believe" in evolution, creationism is not that weird for them.
But for the rest: creationism is not that weird compared to flat earthers hunting down child sex trafficking pizza joints and Jewish Space Lasers.
I could never understand how believers refused to believe in evolution. Even if you believe in an all-Knowing, all-powerful deity, why would you want to believe they wouldn't use all the tools at their disposal?
Having evolution at your disposal and still manually creating every living thing would be like using a pencil and paper to sum the columns in an Excel spreadsheet.
In other words, if you believe in God and don't believe in evolution, you believe in a dipshit god. Your God probably failed out of deity school.
It's because that would contradict a literal interpretation of the Bible (not all Christians subscribe to a completely literal interpretation of the Bible, but most creationists do).
it doesn't even fully contradict all interpretations; it just fully contradicts the loudest most obnoxious proponents of a particular interpretation. but those arseholes can go pound sand, for they are deeply wrong.
Because they think if it isn't in the Bible, which is literally true, it didn't happen.
Well to be honest, Yahweh is a pretty weak god, compared to almost literally any other god we have dreamt up.
They're not able to worm their way back into schools. For now. But people shouldn't get complacent.
Just gonna leave this here
