Outnumber?
Maybe that's why we greatly outnumber you.
Who outnumbers who? What numbers are you using? Even in the benighted USofA I'm not sure you are in the majority. Certainly NOT in the educated western world.
BTW I'm using "creationist" here to mean the biblical literalist version of the word. Most of us aren't worried about those who believe that a god created the universe but aren't arrogant enough to say how He did.

No problem then
Oh my heck, you guys. THE BIBLE IS A SPIRITUAL MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO WILL SINCERELY LISTEN. IT IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC ALMANAC! There are poems that say light comes from the moon. Read a scietific book if your looking for answers to science questions, but for an ancient document that contains writings from throughout the ages, with an enlightening spiritual message, read the bible.
On this we agree. Most of us here don't have a problem with this view.
However, there are many here (and I thought you were one of them) that suggest that the Bible does trump science in those areas that are not a spiritual concern. And, worse, think they should have some say about what is taught in schools.
You make the above comment then mention Noah. The flood did not happen! That is a very solid scientific conclusion. If you think the Bible is not a science textbook then why bring up something about geology? The Bible is wrong about geology and, as you point out, it doesn't matter to the important message of the Bible.

Re: Outnumber?
LOL , Yea I know. Several have tried to have both sides of that argument.
But remember they often have trouble keeping straight just what it is that they are saying. That seems to be our job.

My my my, what an outburst.
The Bible teaches a spiritual lesson WHICH YOU ALL REFUSE TO EVEN TRY TO LISTEN TOO. YOU WON'T EVEN LISTEN TO MY COMMENTS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW, WELL YOU! IT JUST SHOWS HOW EXTREMELY ONE-SIDED EVOLUTIONISTS ARE. Put down your pride and take my previous advice.
If there was any inclination to listen to the message of the Bible the nonsense posted by many visitors here (and posts like that one of yours) would destroy it completely. You are (as the Bishop in England is quoted in another thread) are very, very bad representatives of your beliefs. Fortunately, I know a number of real Christians very well and am not fooled by you.
