Explaining creationism
Why don't creationists explain creationism with the same enthusiasm and in the same generous detail with which scientists have explained evolution for the last 150 years?
Why this obsession with attacking evolution? Do they really think that if they can find a major flaw in that science then all evolutionists will abandon reason and rush to the supernatural? If a carriage designer finds a fault in his design does he discard all his engineering and go in search of a Fairy Godmother with a pumpkin and a magic wand? If a gynaecologist fails to make a couple conceive does he tell them to go and find a gooseberry bush and a stork? Do creationists not realise that if evolution were totally discredited tomorrow it would have be replaced by something equally logical, equally rational, equally explanatory of life on this planet and equally supported by mountains of evidence? In other words it would have to be a science not a religious superstition.
So tell us about your creator. What sort of a creature is he/she/it? What does it look like, sound like, feel like? How did it go about designing a whole universe? What materials did it use and where did it get them? Did it have help?
You might start by explaining why the unknown writer of Genesis claims that the earth existed a least three days before the rest of the universe, and what light it was that was separated from the darkness on the first day, and supplied morning and evening on the first three days, when the sun wasn't created until the fourth day. Come on, creationists, you've got 150 years of catching-up to do.

Thank you, mibn2cweus, for thinking of me. Since my original questions are plainly not going to be answered by any creationist, I don't belong here any longer. Would it be a good idea for you and Zevon to start a thread (is that the word?) of your own now? I don't feel like spending the rest of my life checking 'answers' that have damn-all to do with my questions. Please help.
