Is Creationism Paganism

The OP quote seemed to have a gnostic hint to it.

In any event, this isn't a new idea but in fact part of the theological premise that led Darwin and others to dream up evolution during the 1800's. The idea was (and apparently is) that natural evil precludes God from being involved with the creation of nature. It further says that scripture cannot be trusted as an authoritative, self-verifying source of objective truth.

The idea that science led Darwin and his contemporaries to evolution is false. It was their ideals about God that led them to look for a means of separating a "good" God from the evil in nature.

The book "Darwin's God" researches this subject well.

 

Good points all.

Atheist darwinist evolutionism is fully exposed in the words of that well known atheist evolutionist "Richard Dawkins".

Richard Dawkins is Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He is the author of many books including the international best-sellers "The Selfish Gene", "The Blind Watchmaker", and "Climbing Mount Improbable."

Excerpt –

(Note for the Reader: In the above quote Dawkins argues that Christian evolutionist think “God does something”, that “God contributes something” to the subject of origins. And on that point alone – Dawkins argues for the inconsistency and flawed logic of so-called-christian-evolutionism.

 

Christian evolutionist sometimes argue against Dawkins claiming that HE has made too much of a grandiose claim about what Christian-evolutionists think God is doing. In essence those Christian evolutionists argue that Dawkins has to HIGH a view of God!! He needs to be better in formed about the “downsized god” of Christian evolutionists because he makes too HIGH a claim for God AS IF Christian Evolutionists actually “believed” the Bible on this subject!!

How sad that Christian evolutionists are prone to going to such extremes.)[/b]
