How can people be so idiotic to believe in Creationism?

Does anyone understand this?How can people be so idiotic to believe in Creationism?
people need answers


like


as human beings we have so many questions about everything and we need to know the answers to them, we can just live with the fact that we dont have all the answers : /


and with Creationism, it solved the question ';How did we get here?'; for some people


and it works if you grew up with it, i was raised Catholic and for a while i believed it


but yea, its helps people, and gives them a chance to not worry about that question : )How can people be so idiotic to believe in Creationism?
everyone is entitled to believe in whatever they want, its ignorant to say one is idiotic for just his or her beliefs
Yes, can you really be so ignorant of human history as to ask such a question? People will believe whatever they want to. Facts cannot stand up to true, pure belief. Never have-never will.
It's the feel ';good news.';
it all comes down to science, is it ignorant to reject proven scientific facts about the beginnings of this earth? it is, but consider this, The people who are creationists take everything written in the bible literally. Because they truly believe everything in the bible must be true. BUT the bible was written thousands of years ago, The people who wrote the bible had little scientific knowledge that was nowhere near what ours is. So of course, they made up, what they believed was how earth was created. SO in order for creationists to accept science, they have to accept that not everything in the bible is true, And this is something they obviously will never do.
I don't think it is idiotic to believe in a Super Power that got things going in the Universe but it is a bit silly to believe that we started off as we are today. What's wrong with believing in a starting point (Super Power or Some Freak of Nature) and from there a gradual evolution and survival of the fittest etc. to what we have today. Plus many species that have existed over millions of years have become extinct.
Excellent article in this months ';Skeptical Inquirer'; magazine ';Why we believe'; answers this very question.
They feel that they have to believe in it because they are religious and their religion demands blind faith. If they question the creation that is part of their religion then they question their whole religion. If they question their religion then they question their god and that's a sin that will send them to hell. Fear of hell is why they believe in creation.





This does not mean that all religious people are creationists. Most religious people don't have a problem with accepting the fact of evolution and still follow their faith. It's only the extremists that can't do that.
