Scientists who contend that the biblical story of creation is false are following the philosophy of naturalism which specifically excludes creation as something which can be considered. This is rather interesting in the light of modern science which developed in an era where people believed in God and so also believed in as a consequence an orderly universe which could be understood and studied.
In more recent times some scientists have sought to use the unscientific philosophy of naturalism which explicitly excludes the creator, when science cannot disprove God by any endeavor deemed to be scientific.
Other scientists, although certainly in a minority, do not find any conflict whatsoever between the facts of science and creation. These scientists do not regard the creation story as made up. This demonstrates it is a philosophical position which causes people to regard the creatin story as made up. It is also a philosophical statement, not a scientific one to regard certain things as facts which are not at ll proven but which are open to question and debate such as the age of the earth.
It is explicitly the alleged age of the earth, which in recent times has had much contrary evidence brought against it, which is open to question by such data but which is used to call into the question the view that the earth was created by God around 6000 years ago.
The vast majority of scientists say that creation, as opposed to current biological, physical, chemical and astronomical models, is pseudoscience with a religious and political agenda.When we say "majority", we don't just mean 101 to 100. We're talking 999 out of every 1000. Some creation supporters have compiled lists of a few hundred "scientists" which support it. Most of these "scientists" are unqualified; most of the remainder have very little actual qualification. Of the few others, their opinion is based on religious (and not purely scientific) grounds.There are hundreds of thousands of scientists who would attest that their work and research indicates current science to be correct, and creationist claims to the contrary are unfounded, based in misapplication, misunderstanding, and speculation about facts.Quite simply, scientists (as a group) say that creationism is wrong/false/incorrect/fake.ANSWERYou will find that anti-creation scientists are over-represented in the field of Biology despite overwhelming modern evidence and research otherwise by other scientists in other fields such as ENTROPY. [Not old parroted "facts" and opinions passed off as facts but since discredited].Anyway, most scientists couldn't care less - it's just the squeaking wheel that gets the most grease.
Hellenistic age was from 323 BCE to 31 BCE that had a great contribution in science. Some of the discoveries were, the anatomy of human body, study of the nervous system, the power source to make blood is the heart, and how the earth revolves around the sun.
The evidence for a literal 6-day creation comes primarily from a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation account in the Bible. Some proponents argue that the Hebrew word "yom" (day) in Genesis refers to a literal 24-hour day. Additionally, the genealogies in the Bible are sometimes used to calculate the age of the Earth as around 6,000-10,000 years old.
Most scientist probably believe that the Big Bang created the universe and eventually the Earth. However most also believe there was some time of intelligence that guided it, as the odds against it happening as pure chance are astronomical.
Some famous scientists from the Caribbean include Joseph Fourier from Martinique who made important contributions to mathematics and physics, and Dr. Patricia Bath from the Bahamas who invented the Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment. Additionally, Ernest Everett Just, a prominent biologist from the United States Virgin Islands, made significant advancements in the understanding of cell biology.
Another response from our community:It is not a myth or story.
the difference is that a a creation story is what people think and a migration story is almost the same but has some differences
Some scientists think we are made of quartz because of its abundance in nature.
Some attributes of God that we can learn from the first story of creation in the Bible include His creativity, power, wisdom, and goodness. Through His spoken word, God brought the universe into existence and saw that it was good, showing His attention to detail and care for His creation.
Almost all early societies answered the question "Who are we & where did we come from?" with a creation myth. Some say man was made from a piece of dirt. Christianity says that Eve was made from Adam's rib. But these are myths and no more; and have no scientific merit.
"Creation story" means prose or narrative which seeks to set forth how things came into being. Western religions contain the Creation-narrative as it is related in the Hebrew Bible.
In the first story of creation, we learn that God is powerful, creative, orderly, and that He sees all His creations as good. God is portrayed as the ultimate authority and source of life.
Yes. Creation is a story while evolution is science. The two can really never explain each other. You can not use science to explain any fairy tales.Creationists do think that their story does explain things.Answer:No, of course not. As the above answer states, the two cannot explain each other. Science cannot prove that God didn't create the Universe. A significant percentage of scientists believe in God as the creator and the agent of evolution, or without evolution.Answer:Just because some scientists believe in god, it doesn't mean that they believe in creation stories. The argument that because they believe in god must mean that they don't believe in evolution is illogical. And a creationist would first have to prove god exists and explain god's origins.
It depends how you define the word 'story'. If you use it to refer to an actual event which is being retold, then, no they are not synonymous. If you use 'story' to refer to a tale that is made-up, then, yes, it means the same as myth. For a Christian, the Creation is an actual historical event which explains the beginnings of our earth and life upon it. For sceptics, the term 'myth' is applied since they choose not to accept it as a record of an event in time.
Because they are not scientists and have ideological commitments that occludes their view of the truth. When you have a conclusion and then go looking for facts to support you are not doing science. Creation stories are a dime a dozen. All cultures have them and none of these stories, with some of the contradicting each other, agree with reality.
Water is the byproduct of some experiments.
It depends on which creation story you are talking about. All early cultures have their own creation myths. And some cultures have more than one creation myth. For example, the Bible has 2 different accounts of creation. The Bible's creation myths were most likely updated versions of Babylonian or Sumerian creation myths.
