Are we creationists stupid just because we doubt evolution?

Question

We study:

History

Theology

Physics

Geology

Astronomy

Biology

Law

Logic

Philosophy

and much more!

Yet whenever we are confronted by those who believe in evolution we are treated like ignorant Bible-thumpers who have never opened a science book. How can we have any intelligent conversation when our opponents think we are idiots?

Answer 1

No, you're not stupid just because you doubt evolution.

However, when presented with any actual evidence, or the errors in the logic or definitions you are using is pointed out, creationists have a tremendous capacity to willfully ignore that evidence and maintain a fingers-in-the-ears-na-na-na-I-can't-hea... stance and continuously, time and time and time and time again spout off the same disproven, inaccurate, deceptive arguments over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over - no matter how often they shown to be wrong.

That's what makes you stupid.

Oh yeah, and the fact that you can't seem to understand the fact that creation of the universe, creation of the earth, and the formation of life are not addressed anywhere in the theory of evolution, and have nothing to do with evolution.

Answer 2

Doubting a theory? That has to make you stupid. After all, theories are supposed to have room for error. That is, every theory except for the evolution theory.

Answer 3

Doubting evolution is a sign of intelligence as opposed to having "foolish faith" in the "just-so" stories evolutionists concoct in order to make the theory of macro-evolution seem reasonable.

Featuring an impressive cast of world-class scientists and scholars, Foolish Faith exposes the failure of mainstream science to answer the ever-present question of where we came from — unveiling a surprising store of controversial facts that support the existence of God, but are largely ignored by the media.

Beginning with a fast-paced trail through the origins of the world’s major religions, followed by a provoking pursuit through the reasoning of modern science, this book’s easy-to-understand arguments will bring you face-to-face with seven tremendous facts that will propel you to rediscover the truth about God’s place in the world today.

Answer 4

could you please explain to me the molecular biology of vision and other biochemical systems in full detail  from you, and not websites because i find them sometimes unreliable ,I'm an ex -microbiologist.

retired and have plenty of time, and have always been intrigued with this ,i also have read the bible,                                                           please answer me!

Answer 5

Kdanley,

                 Some don't really think were idiots but launch such ad hominem attacks to stay off the issues..  

Answer 6

Yes.

If you ignore the fact of evolution then you're also saying that all those who study:

History

Theology

Physics

Geology

Astronomy

Biology

Law

Logic

Philosophy

Are also wrong.  Are you really so blind?

Answer 7

you only disagree with evolution because you are told to. not because it is false..  

Answer 8

Yes, You should be treated as the ignorant bible thumpers that you are.

Answer 9

The reason it's seen as stupid is because creationists having no problem accepting something that not only has NO evidence to support it (creation) but ALL of the evidence point against it, and then refuse to believe in something that has astronomical amounts of evidence to back it up.

It looks hypocritical. If creationists asked for 1 / 1,000,000th the amount of evidence for "God" and "creation" that they do for evolution, they'd all be atheist.

It also looks hypocritical that they have no problem accepting most of science, and the only things that they are so critical of is this ONE area.  They'll say "I believe in science...I just don't believe in evolution..."  that doesn't even make sense.  The only reason creationists don't "believe" in evolution is because it doesn't tell them what they want to hear.  It has nothing to do with insufficient or faulty evidence.  (They can't for one second pretend to care about "evidence" when they believe in "creationism".)

I'm sorry, but there is just no way you can be a creationist and be perceived by reasonable people as intelligent.  Even if you are a genius in all other areas.

Answer 10

I don't think that creationists are necessarily stupid. They are deluded, of course, but not necessarily stupid. I think that anyone who believes in ID is an IDiot, because that is ridiculous, but creationism is an obvious belief by those who believe that an invisible fairy created the world.

Answer 11

You study it, and instead understanding the facts, you end up doubting everything in there, and instead turn to your book of fairy tales as THE UNDISPUTED FACTS OF THE WORLD!

So yes, we think you're stupid.  I have a book of fairy tales too.  Grim's fairy tales!  It tells me I can spin grass into GOLD!

Answer 12

You study biology yet you glibly reject the evidence it provides supporting evolution. Is it stupidity or arrogance- maybe it's both.

Answer 13

I'm sure there are many other reasons.

Answer 14

Being a creationist usually brings a lot of other anti-intellectual/downright stupid baggage with it, so doubting evolution alone really doesn't make you stupid (it does make you an idiot however), but believing that a thousands year old mythological text is somehow superior to all of science does make you look rather dim.

Answer 15

But we get the last laugh on judgement day.

Answer 16

No, but a lot of evidence supports evolution

Answer 17

evolution doesn't attempt to disprove creationism, so give it a chance

Answer 18

No. Whatever the reasons you have for doubting or rejecting evolution, you are actually wiser than those who in gullibility have accepted it.

Those who oppose Christ will call you stupid in an effort to demoralise you or to make you compromise. Remember that evolution stabs at the heart of Christianity. If evolution is true, and death existed before Adam sinned, what is Jesus actually saving us from?

Matthew 5:11-12 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Answer 19

not stupid, no, just willfully ignorant and stubborn.

btw, if you do study geology, astronomy, etc - you would see that a 6000 yr old earth is impossible.

Answer 20

No, but what you believe is hard to swallow by logical thinking adults

Answer 21

"Are we creationists stupid just because we doubt evolution?"

Well, you believe in a theory that has no proof, but deny a theory that has proof. What would you call that?

Answer 22

no....my minister has a phd....some need to use some manners!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 23

i agree i believe in creation and all the athiets on here seem to think I'm stupid, just because i don't believe i came from a monkey, I'm actual;l very good in science  

Answer 24

ummm... yep, pretty much.

We mostly think your retards because you believe the earth was created 6000 years ago by a mystical pony and that it rained for 40 days and the water level of the sea rose about 8 miles... not too scientific is it?

Answer 25

Doubting it doesn't make you stupid. It merely makes you less informed than you think you are.

Dissing those who DO accept evolution is what's stupid.

If you want to discuss, then ignore those who diss YOU and discuss it with those who really ARE informed, especially about the following: (insert your list here).

Answer 26

Ultimately this is not, and has never been, a war of words.

Jesus was a man of action; when not preaching or healing he was praying.

It's our actions not our words that win any and all arguments.

God love you!

Answer 27

Creationists who believe that the Earth is only 6,000 years old are ignorant- sorry.

Ditto for creationists who believe creationism is a scientific theory, say that evolution is "just a theory", or believe evolution states we came from monkeys.

I would doubt that many creationists have studied physics and biology as they seem to always confuse the Big Bang Theory with the Theory of Evolution.

Answer 28

pretty much yea...evolution has facts to back it up...creationism has nothing....
