Creationists have it easy

Edited on Tue Jul-08-03 12:41 PM by TXlib
I just had a discussion with a creationist coworker.

Boy, it's easy for them. Anything they don't understand, it's because God did it.

And when they ask a question for which a scientist doesn't (yet) have an answer, they say, "Aha! That's because God did it!"

I ask them to imagine the conversation 1000 years ago, or 100 years ago, or 10, and compare to what we know now. Science has pushed back the boundaries of the unknown. It will keep doing so.

I have decided merely to shrug, and consider their "God" to be merely a metaphor for all we currently do not understand.

(Edited for better word choice...)
