Reply #9: Those are "young earthers" [View All]

[ismnotwasm]

The people who believe that a deity created the universe fall under a fairly large umbrella. The folks that believe in the inerrancy of the bible are the ones who believe the earth is a few thousand years old. There are ones who believe in evolution, but like to point out what they consider holes, or discrepancies in the theory (Don't ever forget what science means by "theory"!!!!) to say there must have been a guiding hand. There are folks here on DU, who believe in a deity that created the universe, but are smart enough to separate science from religion. The young earth folks take science, and twist it until its screams, they try to explain things like the red shift of the stars with pseudoscience, point out to creatures like the bombardier beetle as "evidence" that evolution cannot be the way the earth was created. In fact, for fun, google bombardier beetle and see what you get!
