If you didn't figure out that evolution was bullshit from the beginning during those intro courses in junior high and high-school then I don't feel bad for you.

During my time, parents had to sign a waiver to allow staff to teach it. It is second to sex Ed and drivers Ed.

come up with a better model that industry can actually use, and then maybe creationist """""science"""""" might actually gain some traction.

till then its just a bunch of philosophical contrarian circle jerking.

>implying creationism has any relevant models of practical use.

Everyone knows they do more bashing of evolution/anything that isn't overtly Christian in origin (ie Easter) than they do building on their own ideas. When someone tried to present them with a workable model for the human "kind," they outright rejected it and claimed incompetence on his end.

> a workable model for the human "kind"

yeah, you are still completely ignorant of the point i tried to make.

evolution is the only explanation we have for why all species didn't exist at the same time. if this assumption was not true, then the relative dating techniques we use to find and extract natural resources (IE oil, gas, minerals) wouldn't fucking work. but they do work, hence validating our models and making people money.

creationist bullshit doesn't make any fucking money, and until it does, nobody will take it seriously.

I actually believe this to some extent. We were possibly engineered.

Look at all the old depictions of the biblical "tree of life", many of them have 23 branches that fork in 2 at the end. Look at the Jews. You're only truly a Jew, or among the chosen people, if your mother was Jewish and came from an unbroken Jewish line. This could simply be a way to logically inhibit interbreeding and dilution of your initial gene pool, but it could also imply knowledge of mitochondrial DNA. Pre-biblical religions also seemed to already know quite a bit. Buddhism was all about reality being composed of uniform granular units that just transfer energy around. Democritus and Lepponicus' Atomism was derived from ideas scavenged from places that long predated them. Of course in both cases the human brain could figure it out anyway, it's the only logical thing when you think about how things seem to work.

Then the underwater cities around Greece and elsewhere with machinery using concepts that didn't exist in practice, and that required manufacturing techniques that weren't possible at the time (fine toothed gears, etc). The Bible is also frequently misinterpreted and misframed, Adam and Eve were quite obviously not the first humans in the story. They emerged into an already populated world and likely found their way to Babylon or something.

There's a lot of ways to take it, but something about our origin seems unnatural beyond how we contrast with other organisms.
