Of course the simpler solution is that the Bible isn't actually true, but we all know you cannot possibly go there.
So again, what's the point here? |
I don't uderstand this either, Lou. There comes a point when you've tossed out so much science* that POOF! is a more plausible explanation. Given that YECs all believe in a POOFing deity, why not just stick with that? |
I blame cognitive dissonance, myself. On the one hand, it's patently bleeding obvious that Science Works, Bitches; on the other hand, Creationists like forastero absolutely, positively, need to believe that the Bible is 1000% flawlessperfectspiffyCORRECT.
So when Science demonstrates that the Bible is, in fact, not 1000% flawlessperfectspiffyCORRECT... well, when that happens, Creationists like forastero have themselves a serious problem. They can't just deny science, because they damn well know that Science Works, Bitches. But they also can't accept that the Bible is anything other than 1000% flawlessperfectspiffyCORRECT, because they absolutely, positively, need to believe that. Which means they absolutely, positively must believe that Science supports Creationism.
This is why forastero keeps on tryna argue that his Creationism is scientific rather than just shrugging his shoulders and saying "eh, miracles, okay?" He's caught between the rock of "science works, bitches", and the hard place of "the Bible must be 1000% flawlessperfectspiffyCORRECT", and the resulting real-science-supports-Creationism posturing we've seen from him is forastero's way of squaring that particular circle.
I expect that at least one or two other people have reached conclusions similar to what I described above, but I figured it was worth mentioning anyway...
