Related: About this forumIs there something like "Applied Creationism"?
I was just wondering. If creationism is the answer to a question, am I wiser after getting that answer?
1. What's the thought-process? How does creationism lead me from a problem to an explanation?
2. Or if I already have an explanation (e.g. by guessing), how could I use creationism to check this explanation for accuracy?
Sorry, if this sounds stupid, but I just can't wrap my head around this.

(794 posts)there is no such thing as the creation science cancer clinic- because creationism is not a science, it is -at best- a form of critisism, albeit unsuccessful. Where is the morality of teaching magical thinking in place of science? I keep hearing that evolutionary theory is immoral and evil. The extremists claim that ID will give children morality.

One scientific explanation leads to results that include saving the lives of cancer fighters, the other explanation leads to more suffering and less understanding. No sane individual would try to claim that creationism is moral or reduces suffering or even attempts to explain the universe- it is an obvious attempt to mandate fundamentalist neo-christian creation myth as science- all in service of the greater right wing goal of dissolving the union by creating so much cognitive dissonance surrounding so many basic points of knowledge and fact that right wing voters cease to see anyone disagreeing with them as fellow americans and more as enemies of the state.
American cohesion is the target of ID, creationism and other antiscience right wing movements. The sooner they can convince Americans that our differences are greater than our common dreams, hopes and happiness, the sooner they can finish off what's left of our once great infrastructure by giving it to the largest republican donor.
