Creation, Evolution; Why does it matter? And why not both
An important quality of mankind is that we evolve and adapt so we understand reality more. From there, we can improve...well...practically everything! Creationism in the modern world is a step in the wrong direction since it's saying mythology is reality. What if I were to tell you that the reason the sun moves across the sky each day is because of a god and his horse are pulling it? And then when you find out that that's preposterous and show me proof that there is no god and chariot, I implement some skewed version of my original story to make it fit within my crazy beliefs? You'd think I'm a nut, right? That's pretty much what creationism strives for- failure to be rational and factual in favor of ancient myths.
So
why does it matter? Suppose you actually
did believe that 'G*d pulls the sun across the sky in his golden chariot' ... so? Does it CHANGE the Truth? What evidence have you that it's
NOT G*d-pulled?
What's the difference between
ancient mythology & the
modern mythology we have today (a.k.a. "science," but
really 'scientist's highly-convincing stories')?
