I feel like beating up on some Creationists today.
You know: the evolution-denying knuckle draggers whose determined denial of science and evidence forces them to do hilarious mental gymnastics for their religion.

lol entertain me!

Creationism is generally defined as life arising through a specific act of divine creation as described in Genesis. This precludes evolution as an explaination.
Most self-identified creationists would conform to this definition and this is the one we will be using.

Pedantry noted and dismissed lol

Oh you've misunderstood. How adorable.
No dear. What makes these incompatible is Creationism envoking Genesis as a literal record of how life was created.
If you know what Genesis says then you know it describes unrelated, created kinds and NOT a related tree of life.

Not even a little.

Evolution describes how the diversity of life on this planet came to be as it is now, not how life ultimately began.

that's problematic for creationism then, because life on this planet is related, they aren't all separate species all created at once, in parallel, unrelated
so if that's the route you're choosing then by that definition creationism is already invalid

Nope.
Creationism calls for life being created in its present form as an act of divine creation.

Evolution says that the diversity of life on this planet arose via descent with modification.

because the species that have existed over even human history have changed, they aren't the some, some died, new ones came about
so if you're going to say that all life as we see it right now was a direct result of creationism and no changes to the diversity of life have occurred, it's already invalid
so you either have to agree that evolution is compatible as a means to account for how life did in fact change over time, or concede that creationism is invalid given that definition

Oh...you're just not at all familiar with the creationist argument. I see.

Creationists do accept adaptation because it is literally observable. However, they hold that an organism can only change so much, or with it's "Kind". Like antelope "kind" or bird "kind".
But there is no space for the idea that birds are evolutionary descendants of dinosaurs of that whales share a common ancestry with animals like antelope.

lol let's make this easier for you, clod.

Creationism says that Birds, as flying creatures were created on day 5. Dinosaurs, as land creatures were created on day 6.

Evolution says that dinosaurs existed before birds and that the birds are a lineage of dinosaurs that evolved from maniraptoran.

Go ahead and tell me how those two models are compatible.
Go on...

LMAOO
Fuck, i'm here to school folks on evolution. Why are you making me teach creationism as well?
My dear...according to creationism, all life was created over the course of 7 days and that includes humans.
According to creationism, dinosaurs and humans coexisted.
So cure dodge but answer the question: Creationism requires that birds were created as birds before dinosaurs.
Evolution requires that birds arose as a lineage after dinosaurs.

Explain how those two views are compatible. Put up or shut up lol


Here's a tip: You should at least understand the concepts you claim are compatible before you make a fool of yourself.

Fuckin hell lol
Do you need me to get out the crayons?

1) According to creationism life was created in more or less its present form as described in the book of Genesis.
2) According to the book of Genesis all land animals (human included) were made on the 6th day of creation.
3) Therefor, if one accepts (as do Creationists) that Genesis represents a literal account of how God created life on earth...humans and dinosaurs coexisted.

Pretty goddamn simple to follow, is it not, simpleton?
lol

So now that you're backed into a corner, you're desperate not to answer the question but i'll keep repeating it until you answer or run away like the intellectually vapid little bitch you are.

Creationism requires that birds were created as birds before dinosaurs.
Evolution requires that birds arose as a lineage after dinosaurs.

Well the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs because when it was written before we knew about dinosaurs. Ain't no one here arguing the bible is accurate, bud
lol
But Creationists hold that the Bible is an accurate account of history and since we know dinosaurs existed and that they are land animals, they must necessarily (according to that tradition) have been made on the sixth day of creation along with humans.

I mean....this is pretty basic deductive reasoning. I'm not sure if this is genuinely over your head or if it's just your ego preventing you from conceding you were ignorant and wrong lol

Nah. If the Bible is indeed an accurate historical record the way creationists believe it is then necessarily dinosaurs co-existed with humans.

But since you're clinging so desperately to a red herring, i'ma just strip that away from you and use another example.

See if you can answer this, you plodding animal:

According to creationism, there is chimpanzee "kind" and human "kind". Separately and distinctly created forms of life.
According to evolution, humans and chimps arose from a common ancestor.

Explain how the creationist model and the evolutionary model are compatible.

It's pretty basic logic and it's also an actual position held by actual creationists.

Okay, so you believe God created life, and then it got more diverse, and a whole lot of it went extinct, multiple times, and each time it started over from what was left and made new diversity, culminating in what is alive now. Am I getting that right? Do you think this happened in 6000 years or over a few billion years? Or some other time scale?

What is it that makes you think God is necessary when it is plausible for very simple life forms to have come into existence and for evolution to have begun there? All it needs to start out with is a micelle that maintains interior conditions that are different from the outside environment.

Maybe it could attract chemicals like amino acids and nucleic acids from the outside which assemble in the different conditions inside the micelle, and then it buds off when it gets too full, or it gets shaken up too much.
