Creationism is the religious belief (not scientific belief) that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe are the creation of a supernatural being, most often referring to the Abrahamic God. (The religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are called "Abrahamic religions")
As science developed from the 18th century onwards, various views developed which aimed to reconcile science with the Genesis (Bible) creation narrative. As the creation–evolution controversy developed, the term "anti-evolutionists" became more common, then in 1929 in the United States the term "creationism" first became specifically associated with Christian fundamentalist disbelief in human evolution and belief in a young Earth.
The ONLY evidence of Creationism is the Bible. as opposed to the vast evidence of millions of carbon dated fossils and the total knowledge of SCIENTISTS throughout the world who consider evolution to be FACT!

SCIENTISTS throughout the world who consider evolution to be FACT!
That is almost as silly as saying CHRISTIANS throughout the world consider Genisis to be a FACT.
I think I mentioned this to Box before, but I'll try one more time. SCIENCE ISN'T A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. Just because 51% accept a theory doesn't make it so. Hence T-H-E-O-R-Y.
The More They Know About GOP Candidates...The More They Like Obama!
49% of Democrats say that as they learn more about the GOP candidates, their impression of Obama is getting better, up from 36% in December.
26% of Republicans say their impression of the GOP field has improved as they have learned more about the candidates, down from the 30% who felt that way in December.

Former first lady Barbara Bush doesn't like the way the 2012 GOP presidential campaign has been going, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Said Mrs. Bush: "I think it's been the worst campaign I've ever seen in my life. I hate that people think compromise is a dirty word. It's not a dirty word."
She added: "I think the rest of the world is looking at us these days and saying, 'What are you doing?'"

about 10-15 years ago zocor entered the market, ready to save the masses from their dumba$$ diets(CHOICE not science or religion)....guess what?.....the theory that there was going to be a 'Happy Ending'(as in sundae) turned out to be bust....a bunch of folks are now diabetics.....
I could care less if he believes in creationism....I do to....but to what depth? I dont stop at 'God'.....even if it was some spark I'd call that spark 'God'.....and pretty freakin' cool......
science/creation/evolution.....it's all mud....some things we have 1% right....some things 10% right....some things 30% right......
but, I guess we got gravity 100% right.....flying----I'd say the percentage was less.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

Henry... why post this on a Ron Paul Groupie thread???
Is an Obama Campaing promise the same as a Ron Paul Lie???
If Obama did lie... does that cancel out a Ron Paul lie???

He screwed up there I admit, although the fact is those who were polled wanted a return to a gold backed currency. A CNBC poll where anyone could have voted 64% also favor a gold standard. This would be like me saying 99.9% of Americans know 1 + 1 = 2 but only 98.9% knew it, the percentage maybe off but the math and majority are correct

"fact is those who were polled wanted a return to a gold backed currency."
I wouldn't call those the FACTS.
The facts are: ~ It was not a national poll, but 3 polls in 3 states.
~The respondents were all from one party... (Let me guess, the Libertarian Party??? The Republican Party) If you want the opinion of the American people, you can't just poll one party and pass it off as a representative sampling of America.
~The poll was commissioned by a group who supports the gold standard. (Like polling only Union Members to see if they support a benefit for Union members... You wouldn't accept those results, why accept these)
~ A CNBC poll where anyone could have voted 64% also favor a gold standard. SO... People who support a gold standard would vote, and the rest of us would ignore the poll... I know I would.

Breaking! Las Vegas, Nevada. Ron Paul Delegates SWEEP The Clark County Convention!
Chairman Gibbs brought the meeting to order by asking for any Santorum supporters to please raise their hands. A handful of people raised their hands. Then he asked for Gingrich. He got 2 handfuls. When he asked for Romney, his people clustered near the front of the main room raised their hands with a great cheer.
When he asked for Ron Paul what looked like about 2/3rds of the crowd of over 2,600 delegates leaped to their feet as one and unleashed a thunderous ovation that lasted for 30 seconds. It was absolutely electrifying.
Things settled down and we got down to business. We were allowed to self nominate ourselves as delegates to the state convention. Clark County which is BY FAR the most populated county in the state is allowed 1900 delegates. As only a little over 1,200 volunteered, all who signed up were confirmed as delegates. I do not have any exact numbers, but I can tell you we are likely to have an even larger majority at state than we did here. And this was DECISIVE.
We heard from local candidates running for office. Senators Dean Heller and Joe Heck both spoke and were received with something less than whole hearted support, and deservedly so for their unconstitutional votes for NDAA and the patriot act.
But the best part was filling the 14 seats on the Clark County Republican Party Executive Board. These are the people who set local policy. Each of the candidates was given only 30 seconds to speak.
Are you ready for this?
ALL 14 SEATS WERE WON BY RON PAUL DELEGATES! A total sweep!
When the results were announced a Ron Paul cheer went up and if the Romney people were balloons you would have heard the air draining out of every one of them with a big, sad whoosh.
The Clark County platform now OFFICIALLY calls for holding elected officials to their oath to defend the constitution, or face removal from office. The party platform now also calls for the repeal of the 16th amendment and a full public audit of the federal reserve.
What does this all mean? It means all the garbage the media has been feeding us is precisely that. It means the campaigns delegate strategy works. It means this party is JUST GETTING STARTED!
People, turn off your televisions and get to work. And if you want to have the experience of a lifetime standing there sweating and crying for joy, go be A Ron Paul delegate at your county and state convention. UNBELIEVABLE.
