Creation -1

It appears that, generally, creationism is a test of belief which includes literal days of creation, Adam and Eve (and the fall), Evolution and more besides. Apparently the key to being a 'true' believer is to "Read the Bible as it is and believe every word and every story are true." An excellent approach as long as we don't engage our brains and question (that is, interrogate) the words before us.

I worship a God who, as I understand it, created everything that was, is and will be. He spoke and from out of nothing 'ex nihilo' everything was.This 'always, was, is and will be' God is more than an intelligent designer or some other limited metaphor, for if He's really infinite, all of my attempts to put Him in a box or describe Him will be limted and limiting (for Him and me) as well. Science is apparently the enemy of God, and unless it is 'tamed' or subdued has the goal of proving that God doesn't exist and placing itself on the throne. Science is about no longer being ignorant and the root of all knowledge of course was theology, the 'Queen of all sciences'. Bit by bit, as the Reformation project began to take shape the urge to know about stuff came about from the belief that if we knew, we could understand, and if we understood we could control and suppress it. This led the Church to engage in its continuing battle with science, the usurper. On the other hand, those who supported this 'usuping' saw (and still see) science as the source of all reliable explanations of natural and other happenings. We have no need of God or the Bible - all we need is scientific explanations - God is dead (or perhaps never even existed) and science can prove it, after all, His presence can neither be measured or proved!

Thus our battle for creation begins, for if we can provide answers that are other than God we have proved Him out of existence and so, "God will merely disapear in a puff of scientific logic!" Science is based upon empirical truth whilst religion is based upon faith and cannot be proved, merely believed. So we engage in our battle of science Vs God. An old battle which has seen truth, knwledge and some of my heroes crash and burn at the hands of superstition, hypocrisy and deceitful goings-on because science is the enemy, or is it?
