Ultimate Goal Of Teaching Creationism Is To Make Science Conform To Biblical Principles.

It you carry out the logic of radical Christians demanding that creationism be taught in public schools and in the nation the final notion is that science MUST conform to religious principles in order to be valid. Now think about what I said means when you really analyze what they are demanding.

That means there was not evolution and the God used the "poof method" and everything was created in its present state. When said let there be a goose, there was one. It also means that geology theory must conform to the earth being no more than 6000 years old. That things happen because they are God's ways and God's will.

The Bible also maintains that that our solar system is the center of the universe. That man is the God's gif to the universe. No other intelligent being exists. We are made in his likeness and are entitled to rule the earth and nature as pre ordained.

What it all comes down to is that the evangelicals want ONLY THEIR version of science be taught across the nation and that any other ideas are heretical and must be outlawed.

So in their view climate warming is God's will and a natural cycle of the earth NOT to be interfered with. As crazy as all these belief sound they are real in the minds of so many radical churches.
