And as I >>said above, if you're equating creationism with >>Christianity, it *does* predict the future. Typical. A Christian moron tries to lend some scientific gloss to his statements by throwing in a little statement about some scientific theory. For your information, the "big-bang" theory makes hundreds of predictions about the future, from the relative abundance of sub-atomic particles and their anti-particles (over time) to deductions on flux density. Stick to your Bible and psuedo-science creationism and stay away from things you know nothing about. Of course creationism predicts the future - because the Bible predicts the future. What a wonderfully scientific argument! At least its not hypocritical, in that it shows that creationism is supported by Biblical mumbo-jumbo and not by scientific methodology. The Bible predicts the future in the same way a gypsy's crystal ball predicts the future - through appeal to superstition, NOT deductive analysis of empirical data. Thats the entire point; thats why creationism is not science, and why claiming if it IS science only adulterates the good name of science. Don't prostitute science through association with creationism; which is based on blind faith and black magic. ***************** FLAME OFF ********************** P.S> (For the Beagle lover.
