For one thing, creationists recognize the profoundness of the differences of humans from animals.
...but, but, but... humans ARE animals, and anyone in their right mind will recognise that the similarities between humans and the
other animals far outweigh the differences. The rest of that paragraph is so full of misconceptions of reality as to be classified as twaddle.
I see a whole lot more nonsense following that, but to address it point-by-point would be quite unnecessary given that there are already existing threads that adequately refute your suppositions:
1)the lack of transitional fossils that evolutionists desperately wish they had
- see RAZD's thread
Transitional Fossils Show Evolution in Process
2)the order and obvious purpose we see in countless different natural systems of the world, from biology to astronomy
- Teleology comes up in threads all the time. Explanations that involve teleology are avoided in science and for good reason.
3) the lack of scientific ability to naturalistically explain the origins of life
- There are
numerous threads on abiogenesis, at least two of which were started by yourself. You obviously didn't read those threads, or just chose not to accept the very viable possibilities for abiogenesis that were presented to you therein.

I’m not sure atheists recognize the word worldview, because they don’t seem to like their opinions to be on the same plane as others, they want to be superior, they want to be right enough to force their opinions on society, similar to the religion of Islam today, or the Christianity of Europe 200 years ago.
I find it ironic that you try to insult atheism by comparing it to religion. Atheists don't go nearly as far as religious people to "force their view" on others. Proselytising is a much more religious thing. Atheists, when they are forceful, tend to be so
in response to action by religious organisations that threaten to introduce this week's flavour of mumbo-jumbo into the classroom.
You seem to ascribe to atheists the very worldview that more aptly describes the religious mind, i.e. "It's right and you shouldn't even question it". It is the very act of questioning things that tends to lead one
away from theism, even if not always as far away as to qualify as atheism.
