A totally unscientific belief since it leads to no testable conclusions.

God-Did-It is NOT an explanation of anything.

Maybe not, but it makes me feel a whole lot better.

Your illiterate hyjinks do not agitate me, they make me question your intelligence. So either take part in the discussion or f**k off

I usually have seen that view referred to as theistic evolution

I can't prove it but I think creationism is much weaker on the internet than it was 15 years ago. A decade or more of being humiliated seems to have tempered the urge.

Well, the best they can do now these days is troll threads critical of their beliefs in the hope they will get locked so the discussion cannot even take place, so you may be right

Its pretty hard to find creatonists offline now.

I was discussing the whole thing with a extremely active theist(an archeologist doing his thesis on how some things represented on the bible were also described by some other cultures that were what we would describe as pagan now) and when I asked him about the possible conflict between his faith and his work his only reply was that he put his faith aside when it came to work and the part of the bible that describes how the universe started is just a tale to him.

They are still there according to polls. And they still regularly try to attack science education standards in various red states. But I think they are less likely to expose their views when outnumbered, as they often are on the internet.
