A strawman made up by religious fundamentalists so that they can feel superior to others.


No… it’s simply the worldview opposite creationism. Any assertions of feelings of superiority are very certainly projections. It’s interesting that my entire argument in this thread has been equivalence, but people want to interpret it as some sort of superiority thing.


Following imperical studies is not a world view though, you’re making that part up which is why I dismissed it as a strawman.


To the extent there are empirical studies demonstrating evolution, I and many creationists besides me believe them too.

Where the faith of evolutionists lies is in taking those studies showing the most minuscule changes then saying “look, small changes have occurred by random mutation. we know of no other mechanism by which anything might occur, therefore this is how everything was created! what, you don’t trust the science?? heresy!”
