    Yup.
    Secular wins hands down. But, many religious fanatics just want to talk about...”which is the least “ harmful set of made up beliefs. A secular government with no religious content is best. For example, secular only includes one more religion that “Born agains” reject..

    Since you are an atheist, you wouldn't have a clue knowing my religion is better than what you believe to be true or not. I am a believer in Jesus Christ and I also study science as well. You lack what I have when it comes to perspectives. You start with a theory based on scientific studies. I start with a firm belief in the Godhead of the Old and New Testaments. You are seeking proof of your old universe-earth theories based on the observations of science and geology. I'm seeking proof of the Genesis account of the origins of the universe-earth based on observations of science and geology. The ironic thing is both sides use the same science and geology information. The interpretation is placed in the hypothesis that each side starts from. From my studies on both sides, the old universe is unable to account for much of the newer findings of geology and science as where the young universe is. You would not know this because you don't study or read up on the other side's interpretations. You have this belief that if you do look, then you might find out the there is a God and that frightens you.

    So, creationist scientists do not see physics or any science as garbage. They use and do the same experiments as Darwinist scientists do. The observations are then interpreted based on the facts presented through experimental science and geology.

    If you actually did study science, you’d know “ creationist scienctists” is a completely made up label. It’s like saying, “ truthful falsehoods.” There is NO SCIENCE that supports creationism. None, nada, nix, nine, nope, nanu nanu. Anyone who labels himself a creationist scientist, is not a scientist. Sure, just like there are no republican democrats.

    Ha ha......” experimental what ? “

    This is what woo woo sounds like. Throw the word “science “ and “geology “ into a discussion of creationism and suddenly its ligit ? Nope...never was.

    Ignorance is bliss, isn't it. Creation Science is only a terminology. It's the same science atheist scientists use. In fact, much comes from atheist scientists. You simply lacked the ability to understand that it's about the interpretation of what science brings. Even atheists scientists don't go out trying to prove Genesis is false. Both creationist and atheists simply do the science and then interpret the findings. That interpretation depends on the hypothesis beginning points. Like many, you fail to look at both sides and therefore make a truly uninformed conclusion.

    And, this proves my point. You are a one dimensional thinker. You will never be able to find truth because you only look for and see one hand clapping.

    It’s laughable. More woo woo. That’s dementia trying to support creationism with any science. Look up the word science, please.

    You are delusional. You haven't a clue what science is or how it's used. Let me ask you a simple question with a simple answer. What is the shortest distance between two points?

    I have 4 main books of scripture. Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. I answered. So, answer my question. What is the shortest distance between two points?

    I know how to read a dictionary and a glossary of terms that precedes every science book ? Do you ? There is never a connection to creationism.

    I didn't think you had a way to combat that because you knew it is all true.

    WOW! It's a good thing you didn't go into science as a career.

    So, your proof of “made up stuff” comes from “ books of made up stuff.”

    Show me. Give a science text used in any accredited science department of a university in the entire world that combines creationism with ANY science.

    I take it you are looking up the answer on Google or in an encyclopedia. Come on Einstein, what is the shortest distance between two points?

    The shortest distance between two points ? That’s not even worded scientifically or mathematically correct.

    Once again, one dimensional thinking. Show me a science text used in any accredited science department of a religious university in the entire world that leaves out both old universe and new universe with any science. Again, you are like one hand clapping. So, give me the answer to my question. But, I guess you are CHICKEN!

    It's in every geometry and math book in the world. What is the shortest distance between two points?

    Ha ha.
    Religious universities like BYU offer real science courses in order to remain accredited to counter the religious woo woo courses that no other university will accept when students transfer.
