My many years old challenge remains unanswered.
LET US SEE SOME EVIDENCE THAT A CREATIONIST/ID WORLDVIEW HAS EVER LED TO ANY MARKETABLE DISCOVERIES (Besides selling bible tracts and model dinosaurs for the gift shops).
i dont think we will be surprised with any geographically based findings or discoveries based on Ctreation/ID "science"
It is a false notion that the theory of evolution in in conflict with creationism. Evolution is how God creates and continues to create life and the universe. Whatever mechanics of nature are discovered to be true, those are the mechanics of (the) creation.
All theories deciphered by humans are necessarily incomplete. Moses' vision was incomplete as are modern evolutionary models. Each model contains true elements, however, and so none is wrong, per se', except in those aspects which are found to be wrong by later models.
So, for example, when the book of Genesis says the Earth was created in six days, that quantity of time was most likely defined in that way to refer to 'God's days,' which would be a way of referring to unquantifiable geological time scales in terms that humans can understand. Likewise, it says that humans were created in God's image because we only have the capacity to understand universal aspects of the universe relative to things we can understand by means of our own limited minds.
Still, we are able to grasp some universal truths and fundamental aspects of nature with our minds, so we can recognize that our perceptions and understandings are a reflection in some way of God's, i.e. because we are capable of deciphering what is true from what is false, so we can know that everything that is (truly) true is universally true and thus also true at a divine level.
